Although patients with end-stage Uremia have poor renal functions, relevant
symptoms and test indexes show that some renal cells can work normally. By
treatments, if the remaining healthy kidney is well protected and the damaged
parts are repaired, patients with end-stage Uremia can see hope.
The common treatments for Uremia are as follows.
Clinically, dialysis and Kidney Transplant are often used to treat Uremia.
Dialysis treatments remove extra toxins and water out from human body with a
dialysis machine when the kidney cannot do this job. This machine can also
supplement alkali so that the acidosis can be eased, and adjust the electrolyte
disturbance and replace the excretion function of kidney. However, the cost of
kidney transplant is very high and most of the average families can’t afford it.
Meanwhile, patients should pay attention to preventing infections and various
complications after the transplantation. They have to live with taking
anti-rejection medicines for life.
However, it is necessary for end-stage Uremia patients to take dialysis.
Patients in this period have symptoms, such as increased blood creatinine and
high blood urea nitrogen, the imbalance of fluid and electrolyte, and damaged
alimentary system. These symptoms can result in a worse illness condition and
threaten patients’ lives. So it is essential to use the dialysis treatment in
this condition.
Long-term dialysis treatment will have a serious side-effect on patients. So
Stem Cell Therapy can be combined with Dialysis to treat Uremia.
With the ability of self-reproduction and differentiation potential, stem
cells can treat damaged cells and restore functions of damaged organs and
tissues. This kind of cell has strong abilities of proliferation and
multi-differentiation. They can produce a large amount of offspring and
differentiate into all kinds of cells that human body needs. Through the
interactions of cells, the proliferation and immunoreaction of T-cells can be
controlled. Thus, stem cells can play a role of immune reconstruction.
Uremia patients must choose an effective method timely which can treat this
disease. In treating Uremia by Stem Cell Transplant, the stem cells can not only
protect patients’ remaining nephrons but also repair the damaged ones.
Therefore, the damaged renal cells will get recovered, and the quality of
patients’ lives can be improved continuously.
By Stem Cell Therapy, the damaged renal cells can be restored and renal
function can be rebuilt effectively. And when the renal function recovers to a
certain extent, Uremia patients can get rid of dialysis and live a normal
life.
