Currently, over 90,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant in the United States alone [1]. End-stage renal disease affects 2 in 1000 Americans, whose only treatment options are dialysis or a kidney transplant [2]. Dialysis does the work of the kidneys by filtering out waste and excess fluid. However, serious drawbacks include frequent, time-consuming appointments and an increased risk of blood clots, which cause dialysis to fail [3]. Therefore, the ideal treatment option is transplantation of a functioning kidney.
