Kidney Failure is the final outcome of various chronic kidney diseases. As for the treatment of kidney failure, conventional therapies mainly include Dialysis and Kidney Transplant. Now, a new stem cell therapy is also widely welcomed by vast kidney patients with kidney failure.
Stem cell therapy, as a newest biological technology, has been successively applied in many troublesome medical disease, in recent years, stem cell therapy has been again permitted to research and put into clinical experience by many countries around the world. The possible reason is stem cell therapy has an unparalleled advantage in many diseases' treatment, including kidney failure.
Stem cells are a group of primitive and undifferentiated human cells, and they have the potential of regeneration of body's various organs and tissues. Stem cell can provide more stem cells by self-regeneration. During the differentiation process of human cells, cells are often completely lost their regenerative ability due to their high differentiation. Our body retains some undifferentiated primitive cells in order to supply this disadvantage.
In kidney failure, most of the kidney cells, such as the kidney endothelial cells, epithelial cells, membrane mesangial cells, are destroyed with different degrees. Just due to the destruction of these kidney cells, the renal function can not be played as before, so kidney failure appear.
Stem cells, by the injection into the human body, can circulate along with the blood circulation and get to the specified area. Stem cells can make it because they are well cultivated outside the body. After they entering into the kidney lesion part, they irritate the damaged kidney cells and make them restore their function by reparation of them. As for the necrosis kidney cells, stem cells can can differentiate into those necrosis cells.
Stem cell therapy has made a great success in China in the treatment for kidney failure. Every year, many patients from home and abroad accept the stem cell therapy in our hospital. After this therapy, most of them witnessed the success of this therapy.
