Condition Overview

Kidney diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and acute kidney injury (AKI), impair the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. Symptoms may include swelling, fatigue, high blood pressure, and decreased urine output. Advanced kidney diseases can lead to the need for dialysis or kidney transplant..

MSC Therapy: A Promising Treatment Strategy

Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are being investigated for their potential to treat kidney diseases, with studies suggesting they may offer the following benefits:

  • Regenerate damaged renal tissue

  • Reduce inflammation and fibrosis in the kidneys

  • Promote the repair of renal tubular cells

  • Improve kidney function and structure

  • Potentially slow the progression of kidney diseases

     

How MSC Therapy Works

MSC stem cell therapy in Malaysia aims to repair kidney damage by differentiating into renal cells, secreting growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, and modulating the immune response to reduce inflammation. The infusion of MSCs into the bloodstream allows them to home to the kidneys and contribute to the regeneration process.
