Otherwise of kidney transplantation. Generally, i want to detect processing, approach and to knowing about the last expectant time for 50% to complete cure.
Basically no, it is still either dialysis or kidney transplantation.
It is hoped that ultimately a bioengineered kidney will be developed but this still has a long way to go. Here is one of the more recent reviews published via Medscape-

The lab of Professor .Antony Atala at WFIRM was able to generate a human urinary bladder that was already transplanted to a patient but to my knowledge, no Kidney regeneration is expected soon.
I have seen though an animal generated kidney specimen at professor Atala's WFIRM in North Carolina.
There are so many trials using Mesechymal Stem Cells as immune modulators in many autoimmune diseases as immune modulators.
No, but recent advances in stem cell research have advanced the field significantly. Whilst we can regenerate kidney cells in vitro, these cells are immature (reflecting the expression profile of trimester 1-2 kidneys) and have no integrated blood supply or urinary drainage. Maturing and upscaling these models are the first challenges of many in developing a stem cell based therapy. For now, stem cell derived in vitro kidney models provide a disease model for inherited kidney disease, acute kidney injury, nephrotoxicity screening and and the study of human kidney development. All of these research applications are in development. Good review attached.
Kindly check the following link that focuses on the stem cell-based therapy approaches for the treatment of kidney diseases, including various cell sources used, possible mechanisms involved, and outcomes that are generated so far, along with prospects and challenges in clinical application:
