Revitalizing Kidneys With Stem Cell Therapy
Posted: Dec 08, 2023
Every year, more than one lakh Indians suffer from the complications from chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and kidney failure. In reality, India has the second largest number of CKD cases worldwide with the top spot being China.
Sometimes referred to as the filter system in our body kidneys play a crucial part in the removal of the waste and excess fluids out of our body. When a person suffers from CKD and loses kidney function. If left untreated, CKD ominously leads to kidney failure (ESRD - end-stage renal disease) and requires dialysis, transplantation or other life-altering therapies.
At Plexus we believe that this stem-cell treatment is an exciting and ingenuous method to combat CKD and improve living quality for patients suffering from this disease.
Understanding Chronic Kidney DiseaseCKD is a chronic condition that causes the kidneys to slowly lose their capacity to eliminate excessive fluids and waste products out of the blood. It is known as an "silent disease" because its symptoms are not always evident until the condition has advanced. A few complications that can result from CKD are high blood pressures, heart diseases, anemia as well as kidney dysfunction. Early intervention and treatment of CKD is crucial to stop or slow the progression of the disease.
Symptoms of CKD- Fatigue
- The retention of fluid (swelling) in the hands and ankles, feet as well as around eyes (edema)
- Urine changes: Foamy dark, bubbly or bloody urine
- Changes in urination patterns: Increased the amount of urine urinated at night, and decreased urine output
- Hypertension (cause and symptoms)
- Cognitive impairment, primarily poor focus
- Appetite drop
- Nausea and vomiting are common in the advanced stages of CKD
- The shortness of breath is caused by the accumulation of fluids in the lungs.
- Metal taste in mouth
- Cramps and muscle weakness The cause is an imbalance in electrolytes and mineral disorders
- Sleep issues
- Bone pain
- Anemia
- Hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in blood)
- Dry, itchy skin
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Hypertension
- Autoimmune disorders, for example, Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Glomerulonephritis
- Infections of the kidneys that are repeated
- Prostate obstructions like kidney stones, and an overly large prostate
- Congenital kidney problems
- Reaction to certain medicines, like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs)
- Exposure to toxic substances
- Family family history
- Chronic dehydration
- Ageing
- Obesity
- Smoking
Stem cells are the basic cells of life and play crucial roles in healing and regenerating damaged tissues. Stem treatment with stem cells for chronic kidney diseases helps to repair and rebuild damaged kidney tissues. Here are the benefits of choosing stem cell treatment for CKD:
- Stem cells can change into kidney-specific cell types, such as endothelial cell, and then replace lost or damaged ones.
- They secrete growth factors which help to stimulate tissue repair and renewal.
- They help reduce inflammation and avoid any further damage to kidneys through modulating the immune response.
Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stem cells with anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.
Renal Progenitor CellsThey are specially designed kidney stem cells, with the capacity to differentiate into different types of kidney cells. They are great to regenerate kidney tissue.
In our centers situated in Bangalore and Hyderabad We have patients with CKD across the globe who are enrolled in our treatment programs. The most convincing evidence of how stem cell therapies can work to treat kidney disease is found in the personal stories of patients whose lives were transformed by our expert team led by Dr Na'eem Saqiq.
FAQsDoes chronic kidney failure can be curable by stem cells?Stem cells can help regenerate kidney tissue and boost kidney function. Over time, they may reduce the severity of symptoms and enhance the living quality.
What is the most recent treatment for chronic kidney disease?The stem cell treatment is among the most recent and most effective treatment for chronic kidney disease.
Does anyone have a permanent cure for CKD?CKD is a chronic condition, which means it's a chronic condition. However, treatments such as stem cell therapy may ease the symptoms, enhance the kidney's function and provide patients a confidence in their own lives.
How can I keep my CKD from getting worse?Your physician or nutritionist will prescribe kidney-friendly food recommendations as soon as you're diagnosed with or nearing the threshold of CKD. In addition, you should stop drinking smoking cigarettes and alcohol, ensuring your blood sugar and blood pressure levels under control, staying away from viral infections (getting an influenza shot during flu season) as well as other precautions can slow the progress of CKD.
How can I increase my kidney function in a natural way?Eat a balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Keep your body in shape. Stay clear of alcohol and cigarettes. Control stress effectively. Check blood pressure and sugar levels.
