Stem cell therapy is considered the most advanced therapy to treat kidney
disease, which is also part of systematic immunotherapy in our Hospital for many
kidney diseases are caused by immune disorder. Immunotherapy in our kidney
disease hospital can be divided into six steps:
Firstly, Immune diagnosis
Why we can not get a good effect after having tried many therapies in
treating kidney disease? Why does kidney disease relapse easily? That is because
we don't find the reason of kidney disease. So in this step, we should find out
the harmful substances which cause damage to kidneys, which part of our kidney
is damaged, is glomeruli or renal tubules? Our hospital has brought the most
advanced equipment to do the special tests, like lymphocyte subsets which can
judge patient's immune function; toxins in urine, which can tell us what kinds
of toxins are accumulated in patient's body. These toxins may contain uric acid,
creatinine, b2-microglobulin, CYS-C, retinol binding protein, homocysteine,
parathyroid hormone. If patients have protein in urine, we also can judge which
type of protein it is by urinary protein electrophoresis, then we can offer
proper treatment schedule for kidney disease stage 3 patients.
Secondly, Immune clearance
After finding out the harmful substances in our body, we should clear them.
During this step, our hospital can clear the harmful substances (containing
micromolecule substances, middle molecular substances, and macromolecules) with
the help of many kinds of blood purification equipment, like immunosprption
technics, plasma exchange and so on. Then the further damage to our kidneys and
other organs can be stopped, which lays a foundation for the treatment of stem
cell and other therapy to treat kidney disease.
Thirdly, Immune blocking:
The above steps of treatment only aim at the harmful substances in our blood,
and has no effect on the harmful substances deposited in kidneys, because there
are specific attachment region on the face of kidneys, so when the harmful
substances move to kidneys with the blood circulation, they will deposit in
kidney, and cause imflammatory reaction. So in this step, we will use some
specific immunosuppressive agents to block the reaction. But in western
medicine, immunosuppressive agents are also adopted commonly, why it can not get
a good therapeutic effect, the reason is that the kinds and quantity of harmful
substances are not known, so doctors are often not sure the dose of
medicine.
Fourth: immune tolerance
Fifth, Immune regulation
During this step of treatment, we will solve the deposition of harmful
substances in kidneys. When our kidney is damaged, the blood flow volume in
kidneys will reduce, so our hospital will use Chinese Medicine to increase the
blood flow volume in kidneys. You may have heard of Chinese medicine (Chinese
herbs) before. Here only a simple affix “Micro-“is added before it, but it means
a lot improvement in treating kidney disease stage 3. Traditional Chinese herbs
are oral medicine. Firstly, they burden the kidneys, because the kidney is the
organ responsible for filtrating fluid. Secondly, most of Chinese herbs
decoction is bitter to drink. Many kidney disease stage 3 patients cannot bear
them. Lastly, the rate of sorption by kidneys is very low, for it arrives at
renal lesions through many tracts, such as digestive tract and gastrointestinal
tract.
last, Immune protection
As we know, the reason of kidney disease is damaged immune system and low
immunity, including stage 3 chronic kidney disease patients, so if we want to
avoid the relapse of kidney disease, we should to rebuild our immune system and
improve our immunity. In this step, our hospital mainly use Cells Therapy (Stem
cells, Immune Cells). Stem cells have self-renewing ability which means stem
cells can regenerate mass of offspring that may have exactly the same
characteristics as these original stem cells. In addition, stem cells also have
the potential of differentiating into functional cells of various tissues. So,
Stem Cells Treatment has a promising future in treating kidney diseases due to
their powerful vitality in repairing and regenerating various kidney intrinsic
cells. And We will transfuse Immune cells like NK cells and Treg cells to repair
kidney disease patient's immune system. In this case, with the help of such
kinds of stem cells, kidney disease stage 3 can be treated from root and will
not relapse easily.
