Is Kidney Transplant the Only Way for Renal Failure?

When kidney disease develops into renal failure stage, kidney will fail to work and patients consider kidney transplant and think this is the only way for renal failure.
Firstly, kidney transplant is really a way for kidney failure, which can help patients survive for a long time. However, as we all know, a donated kidney is so difficult to find out. Even though somebody would like to be a volunteer, the kidney should match the patient’ kidney. In addition, the transplant operation has risk. The transplanted kidney also has certain lifespan. When it fails to work, patients with renal failure should also find another solution.
Secondly, renal failure patients can choose dialysis, which is a common method widely used in western countries. However, more and more patients realize that dialysis can only help discharge the toxins and can not treat kidney disease for once kidney failure takes place, there must be damaged renal units. If they only use dialysis, there will be more and more damaged renal units, which may even make them miss the best treatment opportunity. In addition, patients will not stop dialysis if it lasts for too long.
Thirdly, patients can choose Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant, the combination of which is still the characteristic treatment in our Hospital. As we know, in renal failure stage, there must be three kinds of intrinsic cells in the kidney, which are healthy ones, damaged ones and necrotic ones. The proportion of damaged ones and necrotic ones take account more. One the basis of this, we reached the combination therapy of Chinese Medicine and stem cell transplant.
Stem cell can repair the damaged intrinsic cells after entering into human bodies. It can also differentiate into the necrotic ones, which proves that stem cell can revive renal function, and makes the kidney work as well as before. Compared with western medicine, stem cell has advantages.
1. Stem cell therapy can enter kidney nidus and then play roles and has no side effect.
2. Stem cell can generate capillary blood vessels and improve partial micro-circulation.
3. It can secrete a series of nutritious stimulating factors, which activates the damaged intrinsic cells and makes them recover.
4. Improve the damaged immunologic function.
Usually, before stem cells are transplanted, they use Chinese Medicine, which can improve the blood circulation and stop the insufficiency of blood and oxygen in the kidney, thus creating a good environment for the transplant of stem cell.
So from the above, we can find out that kidney transplant is not the only method to treat kidney failure. If you still have any questions, please consult us on line or leave a message.
