Stem cells have the property of self-renewing and differentiation ability. In other words, after arriving at the body, stem cell can generate a series of new cells which you need. Stem cells are capable to differentiate any kind of stem cell after extraction and cultivation.
The main functions of stem cell in treating polycystic kidneys include two aspects. On one hand stem cell can improve renal functions, especially when your renal functions are less than 40%, stem cell will be a recommended choice. As renal cysts grow up, the surrounding renal tissues and cells will be extruded. With the pressure increasing, some renal functions will begin to lose accordingly.
After arriving at kidneys, stem cells will differentiate into new healthy cells and tissues to repair the damaged kidneys. Therefore, stem cell will improve the declined renal functions.
On the other hand, stem cells can alleviate the state of ischemia and anemia of the kidneys; improve the kidneys microcirculation; bring the cyst pressure down when bringing away the fluids rapidly; prevent the epithelial cells from secreting cyst fluid. Finally, the cysts shrink and the pressure on the kidney tissues decrease.
Theoretically, PKD doesn’t reoccur after stem cell transplant on the condition that stem cell brings kidney functions into normal range. However, in some severe conditions, not all stem cell can keep alive after implantation, which affects treatment effects.
In order to provide a favorable environment for the stem cell survival, Chinese Herbal Medicine is suggested before stem cell transplantation. Chinese Herbal Medicine not only can help restrict the further enlargement of kidney cysts, but also cleaning away wastes for stem cells.
In most severe cases, our hospital recommends patients with the conjunctive treatments of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Stem Cell Transplant, which avoids the relapse of PKD in a large degree. If you are interested, you can mail to kidney2012@hotmail.com for more information.
