Bijou Phillips, an actress who previously received a kidney transplant in 2017, is reported to have received a new kidney after health complications and an urgent search for a donor. Multiple outlets say her representatives publicly appealed for a matching kidney donor, describing the situation as time-sensitive. NBC News reports that she finds a match and undergoes transplant surgery, and that she thanks people who responded to her plea. New York Post and Rolling Stone both describe her as being on dialysis and hospitalized at the time of the search, with Rolling Stone noting the seriousness of her condition. New York Post adds that her care is at CORE Kidney at UCLA Health, where she was receiving dialysis in connection with the donor need. The earlier, failed transplant in 2017 is also cited by Rolling Stone as the source of ongoing complications leading to the later dialysis and the transplant effort. Overall, the reports agree that Phillips receives a kidney donation months after her public call for help.
