Clinic Trial for CKD

Posted by georgecjh @georgecjh, Jan 27 2:44pm

I live in No, Calif. and I am searching for clinic trail to help cure CKD.
In addition I am seeking a STEM CELL clinic trail.
Your help is appreciated.

@georgecjh I wonder if you mis-typed, and really meant "trial"?

Let's start with your basics, first. Do you have CKD, and if so, what stage are you? Do you know the cause of this CKD? The two main causes are high blood pressure, and diabetes. Other causes can be medication side effects, life style, diet, or genetics. It is my humble opinion that there is no "cure" for CKD. There are treatment options, there are medications and lifestyle changes we can do.

What are you hoping to achieve?
Ginger

@rrr1952 I'm sorry, I don't know. I think that pig's kidneys have been tried with limited success. If I remember correctly, on patient was kept alive until a compatible human donor was found.
