What is Chronic Kidney Disease ?
CKD is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their function over time. While current treatments focus on managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease, stem cell therapy offers the possibility of repairing or regenerating damaged kidney tissue cells.
CKD Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease develop over time if kidney damage progresses slowly. Loss of kidney function can cause a buildup of fluid or body waste or electrolyte problems. Depending on how severe it is, loss of kidney function can cause:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Loss of Appetite
- Fatigue and Weakness
- Sleeping problems
- Urinating more or less
- Decreased mental sharpness
- Muscle cramps
- Swelling of feet and ankles
- Dry, itchy skin
- High blood preassure
- Shortness of Breath
- Etc..
Stem Cells For Chronic Kidney Disease
There are different approaches to stem cell therapy for CKD. One approach involves using adult stem cells ( MSCs), which have the ability to differentiate into various sources, such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, or umbilical cord blood. These cells can be injected into patients bloodstream or directly into the kidney, were they may promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the growth of new blood vessels.
Kidney Disease FAQ
Stem cell therapy for kidney disease involves the use of stem cells to repair or regenerate damaged kidney tissues. The goal is to improve kidney function and reduce symptoms associated with kidney disease
Stem cells can differentiate into different cell types including kidney cells. They can migrate to the damaged areas of the kidney to help regrow healthy cells. They have the ability to travel to the site of injury. Our studies show reduced inflammation, and the process of regeneration of healthy and more potent cells in many cases
Stem cell therapy has shown promise in the treatment of various kidney diseases, including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, polycystic kidney disease among others.
Stem cells can be administered through various methods, such as intravenous injection, direct injection into the kidney or through targeted delivery using catheters
The potential benefits of stem cell therapy for kidney disease include, improved kidney function, reduced symptoms, decreased inflammation, slowed disease progression, and enhanced quality of life. However, effectiveness can vary depending on the individual and the specific kidney disease
Disease and Conditions that cause chronic kidney disease:
- Type 1 or type 2 diabetes
