Bijou Phillips Faces Setback in Kidney Transplant Search

Bijou Phillips faced tough news this week after it was revealed that she had been hospitalized in .

The 45-year-old actress — who said on Instagram that she is on dialysis amid her desperate need for a kidney transplant — was off to a promising start after more than 1,000 people shared their information after her social media plea in hopes of being a kidney donor match, TMZ reported on Thursday, citing sources with direct knowledge.

However, Phillips's doctors have reportedly not yet found a match from the new wave of people vying to be a donor.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Phillips's representative for comment.

Phillips — who filed to  in October after her estranged husband was sentenced to decades in prison after being convicted on multiple rape charges — currently has a link to a survey form in her Instagram bio that allows interested fans to see if they could be a match.

One of the questions inquires about blood type, as Phillips has type B negative blood, which means that she requires a donor with either B negative, B positive, O negative or O positive blood type.

Despite the outpouring of support and interest, TMZ's sources said people are being encouraged to get tested to see if they could potentially be a donor, as many people may not know their blood type.

They added that Phillips is expected to stay in the hospital until a matching donor is discovered. 

Sources said Phillips, who is particularly ill due to her kidney condition, has been resting in the hospital due to the toll the dialysis takes on her body. While she was said to be alert and communicative, the sources also claimed that her condition waxes and wanes throughout the day.
