Kidney failure can result from a single problem or many any problems, including high blood pressure and diabetes. 85-90% of your kidney function is gone when you have kidney failure and they can't work well enough to keep you alive. In this presentation, Dr. David Greene R3 Stem Cell is going to see how Stem cell therapy can help to treat or prevent the disease.

1. Stem Cell Therapy: A
Potential Treatment
Option For Kidney
Diseases
Presentation by Dr. David Greene

2. Kidney failure is when your kidneys
have stopped working well enough for
you to survive without dialysis or a
kidney transplant. Your kidneys have
lost their ability to filter waste from
your blood.
What is kidney failure?

3. What does kidneys do?
Removing waste products and
extra fluid from your body
Helping control blood pressure
Helping make red blood cells

4. Causes Of
Kidney Failure
High blood pressure and diabetes are
the two most common causes of kidney
failure. They can also become
damaged from physical injury,
diseases, or other disorders.

5. Symptoms of
kidney failure Excessive drowsiness or fatigue
A reduced amount of urine
Swelling of your legs, ankles, and feet
Unexplained shortness of breath
Pain or pressure in your chest
Persistent nausea
Itching
Weight loss

6. Do Stem Cells
Help In Kidney
Disease?
Stem cells possess the unique capacity
to self-renew if they are provided the
right environment. Therefore, stem cells
are used to replace or repair damaged
tissues. This is why stem cells can be of
significant help in treating kidney
failure.

7. How Does It
Work?
Mesenchymal stem cells regenerate into
several different types of stem cells.
These cells can be incorporated into the
renal tubular cells and develop into
mesangial cells.
Moreover, these cells revitalize the
kidney’s stem cells and support the
survival of renal cells by discharging
growth stimulants, to initiate the natural
recovery process.

8. Modern stem cells therapies that are
currently available utilize stem cells to
repair and regenerate damaged renal
cells and improve the function of the
kidney to slow down the disease’s
progression.
