Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the
growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The kidneys are two organs which can
filter wastes and excessive water from the blood. As the cysts form in the
kidneys, they are full of fluid and can enlarge the kidneys leading to kidney
function decline and then kidney failure. There are many treatments for
Childhood PKD. But now stem cell transplant is recommended.
Stem cells are a class of unspecialized cells which have strong potential to
self-renew and differentiate any type of cells. When transplanted into body,
they have the strong ability to repair and replace the worn or damaged cells so
as to repair the kidney function.Under the right conditions in the body, stem
cells can regenerate tissue-cells or organ-cells to protect kidney function,
improve and remit the state of kidney intrinsic hypoxia-ischemia and stop the
process of secreting fluid. So that the goal of repairing damaged tissues or
organs can be achieved.
Studies show that Stem Cell Transplant is a feasible therapy. It has no side
effects which can comfort people. And after receiving stem cell transplant,
there is no immune rejection compared with kidney transplant. It is safe,
simple, and painless. For children parents should choose a treatment which is
beneficial to their growth and will not affect their development. Everyone hope
children can grow as normally as possible. Stem Cell Transplant may help them to
make it come true.
