Polycystic kidney disease treatment with stem cell therapy

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) often creates the urge for regular dialysis, and as a result, the patient's quality of life decreases significantly. The main issue is that most treatment methods will take the patient to the point where he will require dialysis. So, medical practitioners face the problem of developing a treatment method that will help prevent the emergence of the acute need for dialysis among patients with PKD. And not so long ago, they find stem cell therapy might be a good decision for this problem. The main problem was to get stem cells that suited the patient's organism the best and won't cause any additional medical issues. As a result, a good decision was made. Medical practitioners consider fat tissue the best source of native stem cells in the patient's organism. A slight pre-procedure preparation is required to increase the number of stem cells in the patient's fat tissues before the further parts of treatment. Next, doctors perform liposuction and gather all stem cells from the patient's fat. The patient's native stem cells enhanced and increased in number in the lab and then delivered back into the patient's organism. Next, these cells reach the kidneys via the blood vessels and help the organism to start and maintain a repair process.
