Hi, Rosemarya.

Yes, I am awaiting the bioartificial kidney. There is no waiting list because they estimate it will be ready about 2020 or so. They will contact everyone in their database. This miracle will be available to all patient who need it, through their medical facility.

I received a personal response from Dr. Shuvo. I am so happy I am beside myself. I am age 65 also post menopausal. Osteroposis to. I will later.

Bye.

Rosemary, I apologize for the abrupt goodbye in my last response to you. I did not realize it was time to be disconnected from dialysis.

When Dr. Shuvo from UCSF responded to my email, he discussed where they are in the project and expect to begin clinical trials in 2020. Afterward they expect to be approved by the FDA and will provide this product to all those who need it. If you Google (the kidney project) it will contain ( Frequently Asked Questions). This is very informative.

I do not believe I mentioned that my medical problems began when I developed Type 1 Juveniles at age 9; I am 65 now. Kidney failure at age 40; first kidney transplant at 40. It lasted 14 years and failed at age 55 or so. The failure was due to the Type 1 Diabetes and anti rejection drugs. Since then, eight years ago, I have been on dialysis.

Please take care and write if you can.

Kathleen
