Can Stem Cells Cure Kidney Disease

Until several years ago, scientists thought that it was impossible to repair damaged kidneys. People with kidney disorder especially end-stage kidney disease suffers a lot but have no other choice besides dialysis and kidney transplant. We have to appreciate science which really frees us from the disease demon. The discovery of stem cells opens up new possibilities to use stem cells to repair damaged kidneys. It has been proved that stem cells into body can indeed partially repair kidneys. As a result stem cells are used to treat kidney disease.

Stem cells used in clinic are isolated from the umbilical cord blood called umbilical cord blood stem cells which avoid the ethic issues. And the source of this kind of stem cells is easily got. More and more scientists believe that umbilical cord blood stem cells will become the commonest stem cells used to treat disease due to its character and easily being isolated. In addition, umbilical cord blood stem cells are capable of differentiating into many other cell types within the body to form new tissue and even organs. That is why there is ongoing research using these stem cells aimed at the treatment of diseases or condition that are currently incurable. In treating kidney disease, umbilical cord blood stem cells have the versatility and availability. More and more people choose stem cells as their treatment for kidney disease.

Another stem cells used to treat kidney disease are mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into multiple tissues, including bone, fat and other tissues of mesenchymal origin which make them an attractive candidate for clinical applications. People who have kidney disease have benefited from mesenchymal stem cell therapy which is feasible without a substantial risk of immune rejection due to their ability to modulate immune response.

Although there are some challenges in the field of regenerative medicine, with the progress achieved by far, stem cells have extraordinary promise to cure kidney disease and bring new hope for kidney disease sufferers.
