Stem Cell Transplant in the Current Medical Community

After years of painstaking research, the current medical experts have finally developed a stem cell transplant therapy with international advanced technology. The therapy has a significant treatment effect on many chronic diseases and it is the newest research result for treating kidney disease.

The theory of stem cell transplant in the current medical community: After stem cells are implanted into the human body, through the automatic homing function, stem cells will automatically transfer to the renal lesions and differentiate into various types of needed cells, achieving the effect of the repair and recovery of renal intrinsic cells and blocking and reversing the process of renal fibrosis. Stem cells can not only produce a large number of identical daughter cells with their own, which also have self-renewal capacity.

Although stem cell transplant is also called “transplant”, it is completely different from “kidney transplantation”. Kidney transplantation is to replace the original kidney with the implanted kidney. Besides, allograft implantation would produce a strong rejection, so it can not be used until the end-stage. Although stem cells may be allograft “transplantation”, due to they are immature cells and there are no “rejection factors” on the surface, under the appropriate environment of human body stem cells will continue to differentiate into mature cells needed by human body with little rejection phenomenon. Stem cell transplant is not to replace the original kidney, but to truly repair the damaged kidney. It is applicable to patients of early, middle and end stages. Generally speaking, as long as the kidney has not completely been atrophied and fiberized and there is a favorable environment for stem cells to differentiate, stem cells can exert their functions. Stem cells can be stored in normal human body, and when necessary, they can repair the damaged tissues and organs if there are signals sent out by the lesion. Therefore, using stem cell transplant to treat kidney disease is a very scientific and effective treatment.

Our hospital uses cord blood stem cells to treat kidney disease. Currently stem cell transplant has been the latest treatment for kidney disease. Stem cell transplant as the treatment of kidney disease is mainly to use stem cells to repair the damaged kidney tissue and it differs from kidney transplantation. It needs time to repair the kidney, but it has lots of advantages comparing with kidney transplantation, including the long-term effect. The short-term effect shows: the short-term effect is outstanding, and the condition of most patients has improved in 5 to 7 days after taking stem cell transplantation.

After taking stem cell transplant for the patients, the short-term effect mainly represents in the following aspects:

1. Blood pressure begins to return to stable;

2. Hemoglobin increases and anemia symptom improves;

3. Urine volume begins to increase and edema gradually disappears;

4. Fatigue disappears, mental state, appetite and sleep all improve;

5. The urine protein: Nephritis patients’ urine protein decreases;

6. Gastrointestinal function and digestive system improve and appetite increases.

To view stem cell transplant therapy from the above changes, the patients’ living quality indeed improves a lot, which in return proves the effect of stem cell transplant.
