Cord Blood used as a possible kidney failure treatment?

Has anyone ever heard of cord blood used as a possible treatment to kidney failure. I’ve searched the web and have gathered a lot of information on what they have been doing in pushing the envelope on kidney failure treatments. I know they are also working with whipping out a persons marrow and replacing it with the donors marrow to offset rejection. Also, I’ve seen on the news how the U of Minnesota has recently found a way to erase dna in an organ and replacing it with ones own Dna to trick the immune system into thinking that its their own organ. I’m really interested in what others have to say because I’m currently rejecting my 3rd kidney transplant. I’m only 22 yrs old and will try everything to fight what I have now to make a comeback for my family and my new born son. Funny thing is we were going to safe his cord blood from when he was born but we didn’t have any money and my kidney was working perfectly. Well any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Chain rejection on Kidney Stones?

I’m a kidney stone producing machine and just found out what triggers the deficiency on citric acids and overproduction of calcium in my body.
Urologist prescribed a high blood pressure drug called Hydrochlorothiazide (I have low blood pressure) to reduce the production of calcium and a citric acid supplement I’m really not sure as if I should take this. I have to inject myself with B12 on a monthly basis which I need because I can’t produce it anymore myself and found out that this reduces the citric level. Then I came across Hypothyroidism and wonder if that is the reason for the high calcium production? Does anyone have suggestions on how I should approach the treatment or know about natural ways to get this in control? I do a low oxalate diet and avoid foods triggering my symptoms.
