I saw this site and it says it is not yet ready for “standard use”. Your brother-in-law’s best bet is to let his nephrologist know that he is interested in this and find out if the doctor can refer him or possibly point the way to getting on a list of volunteers for any experimental treatments involving the bioartificial kidney.

Prayers up for your brother-in-law.
Thanx for the info but I notice that website is dated Summer 2013. Therefore we are almost 3 years closer from that date. Most of the reports I see now say 2017 for when clinical trials can begin but there is an effort to move up the date. My brother-in-law is willing to take the risk to be among the first for the transplant. I am hoping by perhaps this summer if they move up the start date on the trials.
