Can Stem Cell Treatment Be Used to Treat Polycystic Kidney Disease


Traditional treatment method for Polycystic Kidney is using surgical operation to treat the disease after cysts growing big, which can alleviate the pressure of the kidney caused by cysts and recover the renal function temporarily. However, although the pressure of the kidney is relieved after the operation, its absolute growing advantage relative to around small cysts will be alleviated at the same time, which just like that a big tree’s top branch is cut off, its surrounding leaves will grow more flourishing. When the pressure is alleviated, the small Cyst will get chances to grow bigger and bigger, giving pressure to the kidney again and affecting renal function. In this way, cysts goes round and round, which damages the kidney constantly, the damage of renal function will be more and more serious.
Therefore, in the treatment of polycystic kidney disease, the fundamental way is to change blood circulation and permeability of cyst wall, and making the renal cystic fluid absorbed by tissue and reduced constantly, not secreting any more. In this way, with the pressure of renal cystic fluid decreasing, the size of cysts will be reduced constantly, which makes cysts not grow actively, and get rid of the pressure on normal renal tissues and completely, making renal function recover gradually, and relieving the symptom to a great extent.
Are stem cells able to treat polycystic kidney? Stem cell transplantation changes the traditional recrudescent opinion of polycystic kidney. Actually, stem cell treatment is an effective treatment for polycystic kidney disease. It can make renal cystic fluid absorbed, and shrink renal cyst naturally, directing at the intrinsic cells such as damaged renal endothelial cell, mesangial cell and so on. The evaluation of the curative effect: the above diseases are all belong to those difficult to treat in clinic. Many patients are merely treated with medicine whose therapeutic effect is not perfect, which is complemented by stem cell transplantation that has a relative better effect on most patients. for more information, please Email us at khkpcn@hotmail.com
