Which Is Suitable for Diabetics, Kidney Transplant or Stem Cell?

Which is suitable for diabetics, kidney transplant or stem cell? Most patients with long time diabetes will have diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) if it can not be controlled well. At that time, the majority of patients want to consider kidney transplant as a priority, holding the idea that kidney transplant can give a newborn, which however also has some disadvantages.
Firstly, long time diabetes can not only influence the cardiovascular system but also influence the function of the transplanted kidney and increase the rejection rate. So patients with diabetes should control the intake of fruit especially after kidney transplant. The amount of fruit intake every day should be kept at 150g to 250g, which should not be more than 250g.
Secondly, generally, after kidney transplant, glucocorticoid is applied, which can indeed have powerful anti-inflammation and immune blocking function and can be a medicine to treat rejection. However, glucocorticoid also has side effects.
Thirdly, kidney transplant is an operation after all, which has risk and in addition, after operation, diabetes will take place again for diabetes is an immune disease. Only after we regulated the immune system, can we treat diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) caused by diabetes from root.
How to treat? In our Hospital, on the basis of the pathological mechanism, we researched immunotherapy which includes stem cell therapy and Chinese Medicine and so on.
Therefore, on the basis of above theory, to relieve or control this condition, we need to regulate immune system, which will enable our body to recognize and use insulin. When insulin display their function in our body, blood sugar will be used effectively and consequently, blood sugar level decreases. In China, many herbal medicines are proven to be effective in regulating and improving immune system, under the action of these medicines, human immune system returns back to normal and can make full use of insulin. Stem cell can regulate immune system.
Compared with kidney transplant and stem cell, we can know which is suitable for patients with diabetes for a long time.
