Stem Cell Therapy for Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to conditions that impair kidney function, affecting the filtration of blood and body fluids. Kidney problems are often linked to infections, inflammation, and long-term cellular damage. Stem Cell Therapy offers a promising approach for compensating for the damage to kidney cells and tissues.

When traditional treatments fail to provide adequate solutions, Stem Cell Therapy may be the best available option. By promoting the regeneration of damaged tissues, this therapy aims to restore kidney function and address the underlying causes of the disease.

Kidney conditions affect the body's ability to filter blood and regulate fluid balance, as well as control blood pressure. Acute kidney conditions occur suddenly, while chronic kidney conditions develop over time and persist for longer periods. When the kidneys do not function properly, the body experiences:

Imbalance of minerals and water

Inefficient removal of waste materials

Improper production of vitamin D

These disruptions can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

The most common causes of acute and chronic kidney conditions include:

Improper blood flow to the kidneys

Kidney damage from injury or disease

Autoimmune diseases and liver failure

Diabetes and high blood pressure (leading to kidney damage over time)

Urinary tract infections and inflammation

Polycystic kidney disease (a genetic disorder)

Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C (which can lead to kidney complications)

The three most significant risk factors for Kidney Conditions are:

High blood pressure

Diabetes

Age (advanced age)

These factors can significantly increase the likelihood of kidney damage and dysfunction over time.

The most common symptoms of kidney conditions include:

Weakness and fatigue

Sleep disturbances

High blood pressure

Loss of appetite

Nausea and vomiting

Chest pain, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup in the lungs

Muscle cramps and twitches

Swelling in the ankles and feet

A metallic taste in the mouth

Fluid buildup around the lining of the heart (pericardial effusion)

The goal of treatment for kidney conditions is to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. Traditional approaches often involve:

Medications: Used to control symptoms and prevent further kidney damage.

Dialysis: A procedure that artificially filters waste and excess fluid from the blood, used in severe cases when the kidneys can no longer function properly.

Kidney transplants: The most definitive treatment for end-stage kidney disease, where a healthy kidney is transplanted from a donor.

Stem cell therapy utilizes the body's natural repair mechanism to promote healing and regeneration. Stem cells, which are found in fat cells, bone marrow, and donor cord blood, have the unique ability to activate the growth of new, healthy cells in damaged tissues. In this therapy, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from donor cord blood are applied to the affected area, encouraging the body's repair processes.

By enhancing the body's ability to regenerate tissue, stem cell therapy boosts the natural healing mechanisms, facilitating recovery and introducing new, healthy stem cells to the site of damage.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in the treatment of kidney conditions by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation in the kidneys. When transplanted, stem cells help repair damaged kidney tissues, improving kidney function. Additionally, stem cell therapy can be combined with organ transplants to reduce the need for lifelong immunosuppressant drugs, offering a more sustainable long-term solution.

MSCs are particularly well-suited for treating kidney conditions at various stages, except for stage five kidney disease, where damage is too extensive for regenerative therapies to be effective.

The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Centre is a holistic approach to treating Kidney Conditions.

Your Renue Journey does not end after your last day of SCT. We follow up with you to assert your progress, since the treatment for Kidney Condition with Stem Cells consists of four phases:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 30, 60 & 90 days after the treatment: To check for flare-up frequency, improvements, and other symptoms

4. Six months after treatment: Lab tests, flare-up frequency, clinical evaluation, and disease prognosis

SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes

The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.

As part of The Renue Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to combat Kidney Conditions. These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.

According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre-and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help

Reduce Kidney Condition progression

Speed up tissue repair

Regrow and repair tissues after six months

After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.

Talk to our Patient Advisor to know more about SCT at The Renue Medical Centre.

Expected results and prognosis:

Reduction in inflammatory markers

Removal from dialysis

Reduction in frequency of dialysis immediately after the treatment

Improved life quality

Independence

Generally, Stem Cell Therapy is a safe procedure, but no medical treatment is harmless.

The most expected or common risk factors of SCT can be:

Nausea and vomiting

Fever

Painful injection area /site

Lethargy and fatigue

Allergic reactions

Allergic reactions are preventable through pre-injection history and care. Fatigue, fever, and pain are managed through the appropriate drugs along with the treatment. In case of nausea and vomiting, you can take some rest and take a revitalizing, fresh liquid.
