About Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a serious condition that occurs when excessive force is exerted on the walls of blood vessels. It is a leading contributor to various comorbidities and complications in the body, including life-threatening conditions such as cardiac failure and stroke. Despite advancements in medical technologies, current treatment options for hypertension mainly address symptoms rather than the underlying causes.
Stem cell therapyrepresents a new frontier in treating hypertension-related damage. By focusing on regenerating and repairing tissues affected by prolonged high blood pressure, stem cell therapy offers a potential solution for mitigating the long-term effects of hypertension on the body.
What is Hypertension Condition?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition that can lead to serious health complications such as stroke, heart disease, and even death. A blood pressure reading higher than 120/80 mm Hgis considered pre-hypertensive, and sustained levels above this threshold are categorized as hypertension. If left untreated, hypertension can damage blood vessels and organs, increasing the risk of life-threatening conditions.
What causes High Blood Pressure?
The causes of high blood pressure (hypertension) are typically divided into two categories:
1. Essential (Primary) Hypertension
o This type develops gradually over many years and is not directly linked to any identifiable cause. It is often influenced by factors like genetics, age, and lifestyle.
2. Secondary Hypertension
o This type results from underlying medical conditions or the use of certain substances. Common causes include:
§ Kidney disease
§ Thyroid problems
§ Adrenal gland tumors
§ Obstructive sleep apnea
§ Congenital heart defects
§ Illegal drug use (e.g., amphetamines, cocaine)
Specific medications, such as cold remedies, over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers, prescription drugs, and birth control pills, can also contribute to secondary hypertension.
What are the risk factors for Hypertension?
The most significant and common risk factors for hypertension include:
· Age, race, and ethnicity
· Family history of hypertension and history of tobacco use
· Physical inactivity and elevated heart rate (lack of angiogenesis)
· Obesity and high blood cholesterol levels
· Excessive salt and potassium intake through diet
· Alcohol abuse or use of harmful drugs
· High stress levels and chronic conditions such as diabetes
· Gestational hypertension during pregnancy
· Associated conditions such as heart failure, stroke, and metabolic syndrome
What are the Congestive Heart Failure Disease symptoms?
In the early stages, Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) may not present obvious symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, patients may experience:
· Nosebleeds
· Shortness of breath (SOB)
· Headaches
· General body pain
While these symptoms are not always specific to CHF, they can be associated with complications such as high blood pressure, which is often a contributing factor to heart failure.
THE TREATMENT JOURNEY
How is Hypertension commonly treated?
The treatment for hypertension typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medications, including:
· Regular physical activity and exercise
· Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding harmful substances
· Maintaining a balanced diet low in salt and rich in nutrients
· Medications, such as:
o Diuretics (to help the body eliminate excess fluid)
o ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors)
o ARBs (Angiotensin II receptor blockers)
o Calcium channel blockers
o Alpha-blockers
o Alpha-beta blockers
o Beta-blockers
o Aldosterone antagonists
o Renin inhibitors
o Vasodilators (to relax blood vessels)
o Centrally acting agents (to lower blood pressure by acting on the central nervous system)
What Is Stem Cell Therapy?
Stem Cell Therapy utilizes the body’s natural repair mechanisms through the use of stem cells (SCs), which have the unique ability to regenerate and replace damaged tissues. Stem cells are naturally found in fat cells, bone marrow, and in this case, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) sourced from donor cord blood. When placed in areas of damage, these cells activate the growth of new, healthy cells, promoting the body’s healing process. Stem Cell Therapy boosts the body’s repair mechanisms by introducing new stem cells to regenerate damaged tissues.
How can Stem Cells Therapy treat Hypertension?
Stem Cell Therapy for hypertension focuses on transplanting healthy cells into damaged blood vessels, tissues, and organs to repair and regenerate these areas. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are considered the most effective option due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types and promote tissue repair.
MSCs are processed and cultivated in the body to enhance their ability to differentiate and restore damaged tissues, helping to improve the function of blood vessels and organs affected by hypertension. This regenerative approach offers a promising alternative to traditional treatments for managing the long-term effects of high blood pressure.
How is the treatment at The Renue Medical Centre different?
Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Medical Centre is a holistic approach to treating Hypertension (HTN).
Your Renue Journey does not end after your last day of SCT. We follow up with you to assert your progress since the treatment of Hypertension (HTN) with Stem Cells consists of four phases:
Pre-treatment: Clinical evaluation, lab test results, and other diagnostic procedures. You will take our Regen Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics that will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs chronological).
After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.Treatment day: The treatment starts with taking a specific amount of blood through apheresis. After taking the Stem Cells, the rest of the blood is returned to the donor.
30, 60 & 90 days post-treatment follow-up: Congestive Heart Failure Disease symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, and lab test results.
Six months post-treatment: Congestive Heart Failure Disease symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, lab test results, X-ray report, and review of the diagnostic criteria.
