Stem Cell Transplant Treat Lupus Kidney Disease

Lupus Kidney Disease is a kind of mediated kidney disease which is caused by immune complex. It means that immune complex caused by immune reaction of organic leads to damage to kidney, which results in renal inflammation, thus starting renal fibrosis.
Statistics from abroad showed that there are 50 people suffering from Lupus Kidney Disease among 100, 000 people. In China, there are 70 people suffering from Lupus Kidney Disease among 100, 000 people. From the pathological examination, we can find out that almost 90% of people with Lupus have had damage in kidney, the symptoms of which are hematuria, proteinuria, edema, high blood pressure, renal damdage, and so on. Reports from investigation tell us that people dwelling in tropical zone tend to have more ability of suffering from Lupus Kidney Disease, especially in Malaysia and Yunnan, China. A large number of people with Lupus Kidney Disease are suffering from this disease.
Lupus Kidney Disease is a disease which leads kidney to damage. So in order to treat it, medicines should be focused on the recover of renal cells or renal function. after trying a lot of therapies, especially western medicine, Lupus Kidney Disease patients turn to stem cell for help for other western medicine’ s side effect and recurrence of symptoms.
How does stem cell treat Lupus Kidney Disease?
Firstly, stem cell can regenerate into many capillary endothelial cells and repair the damaged renal membrane, repair the filtration membrane, improve the filtration function, thus improving the renal glomerular filtration. What’s more, stem cell can also obviously improve the amount of urine caused by renal glomerular disease, blood pressure and edema,etc.
Secondly, stem cell can also generate into munologic balance cells such as Ts cells, Th cells, etc. Stem cell can also balance the immunoreaction, diminish a variety of factors which can cause renal glomerular disease, avoid the continuous damage to renal tubules, prevent it from developing into renal failure.
After stem cell are transplanted into body, it can generate into renal epithelial cells and renal mesenchymal cells, repair the damaged ones caused by virus, bacteria invade and chronic inflammation. In addition, it can also increase the immune ability of the body. By stem cell’s repairing, renal reabsorption ability and secretion can be recovered, thus achieving the purpose of treating Lupus Kidney Disease.
