| Abstract |
Regenerative medicine is being heralded in a similar way as gene therapy was some 15 yr ago. It is an area of intense excitement and potential, as well as myth and disinformation. However, with the increasing rate of end-stage renal failure and limited alternatives for its treatment, we must begin to investigate seriously potential regenerative approaches for the kidney. This review defines which regenerative options there might be for renal disease, summarizes the progress that has been made to date, and investigates some of the unique obstacles to such treatments that the kidney presents. The options discussed include in situ organ repair via bone marrow recruitment or dedifferentiation; ex vivo stem cell therapies, including both autologous and nonautologous options; and bioengineering approaches for the creation of a replacement organ. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 July 2013.
All research outputs
#5,447,195
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
#2,407
of 5,681 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,803
of 90,110 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Society of Nephrology
#13
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,681 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 18.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 90,110 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
