Stem cell transplant is a newly developed technology in medicine field and it has been applied in kidney disease treatment in recent years. Through many years research, Stem cells have shown its great effect on treating kidney disease, including Polycystic Kidney Disease.
Polycystic Kidney Disease is a kind of hereditary disease with multi cysts growing in bilateral kidneys. These cysts grow with age and they can produce pressure on surrounding kidney tissue, causing kidney injury. With injury aggravation, patients begin to get a series of symptoms, which means kidney function has already declined.
Based on this, stem cells are used to deal with such kind of kidney injury. Stem cells have the ability of self-renewing, which means they can regenerate massive offspring that may have exactly the same characteristics as these original cells. In addition, stem cells also have the potential of differentiating into functional cells of various tissues. For this reason, stem cells can repair kidney greatly and play function in these damaged nephrons effectively by regenerating injured nephrons and differentiating new nephrons. By this, normal kidney structure can be repaired and kidney function will be improved gradually.
Presently, Stem cell transplant is combined with Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is also a kind of effective treatment for Polycystic Kidney Disease. Through the combination of these two treatments, a much better therapeutic effect can be got, which improves patients living quality greatly.
On the other hand,Diet and health care is a question that most Polycystic Kidney Disease patients will concern. Patients should pay attention to the following points besides the treatment.
It is necessary for PKD patients to have checks like blood pressure, urine routine, kidney function and B-ultrasound regularly. Avoid any medicines which can be toxins to kidneys.
