Stem Cell Kidney Transplant: Novel Approach for Kidney Disease Treatment
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer with renal disease, which frequently results in the need for dialysis or a complete kidney replacement. For those with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation has long been the most successful course of treatment. But there is a rising scarcity of donor organs, which fuels great demand and long waiting lists. Recent developments in medical science, especially in the area of stem cells, have created fresh opportunities for kidney transplants used with stem cell treatment. Transplantation of Stem Cells: Kidney A stem cell kidney transplant is the regeneration of damaged kidney tissues using stem cells either from a patient or a donor. Unique among other types of cells in the body, stem cells can grow into kidney cells among other things. Researchers seek to heal or replace damaged tissue by introducing these cells into a patient's kidney, hence perhaps lowering or even eradicating the demand for a complete kidney transplant. How...
