Bijou Phillips hospitalized on dialysis, desperately needs kidney transplant

Bijou Phillips is in desperate need of a kidney transplant.

The model, 45, is currently hospitalized at UCLA Health, where she is receiving dialysis while waiting for a donor, her rep confirmed to Page Six on Wednesday.

Phillips received a first kidney transplant from a friend in 2017. However, the kidney has now failed and she needs another one.

Following her first transplant, Phillips has been suffering from multiple complications, including a bout with the human polyomavirus 1, also known as the BK virus, which led to cellular and antibody rejection.

She is currently in stable condition, but her rep pleaded that “time is of the essence.”

TMZ was the first to report the news.
