Stem Cell for Diabetic Nephropathy

Stem cells are primary cells abstracted from human beings, which can differentiate further into cells which the body needs after into patients. Diabetic Nephropathy is a kind of secondary kidney disease which is caused by long time uncontrolled diabetes. Conventional treatment in western countries can not give a satisfactory effect, so more and more patients are interested in the latest stem cell therapy in the hope of getting recovery.
Cases and experience in clinic all proved that stem cells can treat diabetes. The mechanism goes as follows: pancreas islet β cells are damaged, which leads to insufficient secretion of insulin. In this case, the blood sugar will increase. If this can not be treated or controlled well, it will lead to systematic disorder and a series of complications will occur as well. Stem cells can repair the damaged pancreas islet β cells, thus recovering the function of insulin. In this case, the secretion of insulin can turn normal and diabetes can recover consequently.
In addition, stem cells can also treat Diabetic Nephropathy. We should notice that Diabetic Nephropathy means there is disorder in the kidney. Especially in the late stage of Diabetic Nephropathy, not only protein appears in urine, but also there is damage in the kidney. In the kidney, there are healthy intrinsic cell, damaged intrinsic cells and necrotic cells in the kidney due to long time insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney. So we should also get recovery with the help of stem cells due to its differentiation function. Stem cell can repair the damaged intrinsic cells after entering into human bodies. It can also differentiate into the necrotic ones, which proves that stem cell can revive renal function, and makes the kidney work as well as before. Compared with western medicine, stem cell has advantages.
The advantages of stem cell therapy are as follows:
1. Stem cell therapy can enter kidney nidus and then play roles and has no side effect.
2. Stem cell can generate capillary blood vessels and improve partial micro-circulation.
3. It can secrete a series of nutritious stimulating factors, which activates the damaged intrinsic cells and makes them recover.
4. Improve the damaged immunologic function.
Before stem cell therapy is applied, we usually use Chinese Medicine to clear away the blood stasis, relieve the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the blood vessels, thus creating a cleaner environment for the treatment of stem cells.
At present, stem cell therapy and Chinese Medicine all have become part of immunotherapy in our Hospital, which can treat Diabetic Nephropathy well and has no side effects in contrast to the western medicines.
