Can Stem Cell Treatment Be Used Instead Of Kidney Transplant For High Creatinine Levels, Have Undergone Transplant Earlier?

My cousin had a kidney transplant 10 years ago. Now his cretinine is high and also bp. Doctors are advising for transplantation again. Can I have any option available for repairing the transplanted kidney through stem cell treatment or can I donate my kidney through stem cell?

You seem to be a bit ahead of time dear. I understand your anxiety but its too early to jump upon stem cells workinv as a magic stick to replace renal transplant. For now, repeat transplant is the only option to avoid dialysis. One thing should be assessed before a 2 nd transplant for sure- evaluate the risk of recurrence basdd on the primary cause for renal failure and patient compliance.
