Stem Cells: Alternative Treatment for ESRD No Dialysis or Transplant

End-stage kidney disease (ESRD) refers the complete or almost complete failure of the kidney. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located near the middle of the back which are very important organ to maintain healthy. It can remove wastes and excessive fluid from the blood. However, in ESRD, kidneys can not work normally. As a result, more wastes and fluid build up in the body causing a lot of symptoms.
When you or your love develops ESRD, some symptoms may occur including vomiting especially in the morning, headache, bone pain, loss of desire for sexual life, itching, etc. Almost people with end-stage kidney disease undergo dialysis, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis can replace part function of kidney to eliminate fluid and toxins in the body which can temporarily relieve the symptoms in renal failure patients. However, it is a troublesome problem that dialysis can not restore your kidneys so that your kidney function will continuously decline till it completely fails. Kidney transplant can be a better choice for people with end-stage renal failure. But a long-term wait for available kidney is a problem. Is there alternative treatment for end-stage kidney disease other than dialysis or kidney transplant? Here is stem cell transplant.
Stem Cells are biological cells which have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into any type of cell. Self-renewal means that stem cells can keep the unspecialized state through cycles of division. Differentiation means that stem cells can differentiate into desired cells. Stem cells can be isolated from the tissues. Cultivated and purified, stem cells can be infused into the body. After enter the body, stem cells can move to the damaged kidney area to produce new functional cells and differentiate into kidney intrinsic cells. Stem cells are cell-based therapy. Once the kidneys are restored, the symptoms will naturally disappear. It has more advantages over dialysis on restoring kidneys and also the source of stem cells is wide which are easily derived. Compared with kidney transplant, stem cell transplant is quick and painless.
Stem cells are the brand new treatment for ESRD. If you have any other question about this kind of treatment, you can Email us at khkpcn@hotmail.com
