End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is characterized by progressive loss of kidney function, which can result in damage to various tissues and organs. Dialysis therapy and kidney transplantation are currently the only therapeutic options available for patients with ESRD. In the case of kidney transplantation, organ shortage and high organ rejection have increased the need for novel treatment modalities. Therefore, organ regeneration employing decellularization technology has emerged as a viable alternative to conventional organ transplantation. In this technology, organs are decellularized using physical, chemical, or biological means to create a natural scaffold and foundation for cell seeding. After in vivo transplantation, this scaffold can be recellularized using stem cells or adult differentiated cells, resulting in a functional organ devoid of immune response. This review focuses on the primary agents used for renal decellularization and the current status of kidney regeneration using decellularization.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
