Discover how Stem Cell Treatment is Transforming the Lives of Kidney Disease Sufferers.

Why pursue stem cell therapy for kidney disease?
The prevalence of kidney diseases is a public health crisis. In the United States alone, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect 37 million people, with 90% not knowing that they have the condition. Worse, the 5-year survival rate of kidney failure is under 50%.

This survival rate can go up to 80% if the patient receives a transplant, but it usually takes three years to find an available donor match, and the procedure costs $200000. While waiting for a transplant, most patients undergo weekly dialysis, which still costs $80000 per year. Fortunately, stem cells are emerging as a promising tool for the treatment of kidney disease.

Can Stem Cells help with kidney disease??
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), through their ability to repair damaged tissues, are the body’s natural defense against kidney damage. When administered to a patient, they can protect the kidneys from injury and accelerate healing. The benefits of stem cell therapy for acute and chronic kidney diseases have already been demonstrated in many preclinical studies. Clinical trials have also shown that MSC transplantation to be safe for patients with kidney disease.

Protocol
Our two-day protocol centers on the intervenous transplant of stem cells: a minimum of 120 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) are injected intravenously. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, is minimally invasive, and has very little downtime. Patients normally travel home two days following their scheduled appointment.

Treatment goals
Our protocol aims to reduce the overall levels of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. The effects are expected to last for a very long time.

Stem cells are uniquely and intrinsically able to migrate to sites of damage and inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells are able to orchestrate the repair and regeneration of deteriorated tissues, as well as modulate the immune system, to promote better health.

Depending on the ailment or the patient’s initial condition, the benefits of stem cell therapy can include a reduction in harmful symptoms, the slowing of the progression of the disease, and an overall increase in quality of life.
