My uncle has chronic kidney disease (CKD). On my recent visit back to my country, my aunt showed me a clip of a news segment aired in a local TV channel. It was a report on a local clinic offering stem cell treatment for CKD patients. The report included interviews from patients who've supposedly been cured through the treatment. Google reviews of the clinic says that they offer 50:50 chance of success in exchange for nearly $5000, which is a lot by South-East Asian standard. I looked into Google scholar and sure enough, found that stem cell treatment for CKD is still at it's infancy and nowhere near to being prescribed for personal treatment.
