Under right condition, they can differentiate into various kinds of functional cells, tissue and organ cells in body so as to maintain our growth and development. Stem cells can promote the internal structure reconstruction in cells to maintain their function’s dynamic balance and regeneration and self-repairing of the impaired tissues.
Stem Cell Transplant is a technique restoring and rebuilding the kidney function. After the abstraction, cultivation, differentiation of stem cells, they will be transplanted into the patients’ body through intravenous injection.

However, the patients after Kidney Transplant have to use a large dosage of immunosuppressive drugs to restrain the rejection reaction. In serious cases, the rejection reaction may cause the transplanted kidneys to fail in a short time.
