Stem Cell Is the Best to Treat FSGS

Stem cell is the best therapy to treat FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) till now. Why? It is up to the function of stem cell and the specific condition of (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, which as its name implies, means that there have been partial sclerosis in renal glomerulus. What’s worse, there are even some sclerotic ones. In this case, only western medicine can not control such as hormone and immunosuppressive agent, which makes people take dialysis. Dialysis can only help clear away the toxins but can not treat kidney disease fundamentally for when kidney fails, there must be damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney, which dialysis can not repair. With the urine decreasing day by day and there are more damaged intrinsic cells in the kidney, FSGS patients even consider kidney transplant, which is not only difficult to find the donor but also has risk.
Considering this, stem cells are becoming more and more popular, which have been applied in many fields in clinic such as heart system, nerve system, blood system diseases, etc. It is also used to treat kidney disease such as FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis).
Stem cells are initial cells with strong self-renewing and multi-differentiation abilities. When stem cell is transfused into the body of kidney disease patients, because of its “homing ability” and, it would go to the kidneys and would differentiate into the kidney intrinsic cells, replacing the already sclerotic renal glomerulus, repairing the damaged renal glomeruli as well. In this case, kidney can function well and symptoms such as hematuria, proteinuria, etc will disappear.
In our Hospital, we also do stem cell research. In addition, before patients with FSGS do stem cell therapy, we arrange Chinese Medicine for them every day, each of which lasts for 45 minutes, thus creating a good inner environment for stem cell.
