To cure liver cirrhosis symptoms with stem cell therapy, healthy stem cells will be cultured in vitro and transplanted into the patient's body via intravenous infusion. As an emerging therapeutic method, stem cell therapy has brought new hope to patients with liver cirrhosis. In recent years, SQ1 medical center has accumulated rich experience in stem cell for liver cirrhosis.
The Beneficial Effects Of Stem Cell Liver Cirrhosis Treatment
Stem cell therapy can enhance the ability of the human body to repair damaged liver cells and tissue. Liver regeneration stem cells can induce differentiation of liver cells under certain conditions, and participate in the reconstruction of liver tissue, thus effectively improving the patient’s condition as well as promoting the recovery of liver function.
The following effects can be achieved by using stem cell therapy on liver cirrhosis:
Regeneration of liver tissue
Relieved or eliminate symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, ascites, and pain
Key biomarkers of liver function return to normal level
Improvement in liver fibrosis
Reduced chronic fatigue
Removal of jaundice
No more itchy skin
Improved metabolism
Immune system back to normal status
Liver Cirrhosis And Complications That Stem Cell Therapy Can Treat
Liver cirrhosis will be accompanied by complications in many patients. Stem cell therapy can treat liver cirrhosis and have a good effect on preventing or improving the complication conditions of liver cirrhosis. These complications include:
Portal vein hypertension
Portal pulmonary hypertension
Ascites
Poor absorption of fats and vitamins
Irregular bleeding
Increased risk of infections
Kidney failure
Deterioration of brain function
Liver cancer
Liver Cirrhosis And Complications That Stem Cell Therapy Can Treat
Many experts in the world have conducted clinical trials on stem cell transplantation in humans for the treatment of decompensated cirrhosis. After transplantation, the symptoms of patients have been significantly improved, the liver function has been restored to a certain extent, and no obvious adverse reactions have been found. Stem cell therapy has become the most sensible choice for patients with liver cirrhosis!
Risk Factors For Cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis develops from a variety of chronic liver diseases, any adverse factors that affect the normal function of the liver can be considered risk factors for liver cirrhosis. It is important to understand the causes of cirrhosis so that the symptoms can be treated and prevent the disease from been worsen.
Most common risk factors include:
Alcoholism
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Viral hepatitis
Bile duct obstruction
Adverse drug reaction or poisoning
Autoimmune liver disease
Genetic and metabolic diseases
Long-term cholestasis
Liver blood circulation disorder
Parasitic infection
Clinical Symptoms Of Liver Cirrhosis
There are various manifestations of liver cirrhosis. There are about 10-to 20% of patients with early liver cirrhosis are asymptomatic, or only have digestive system symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, and diarrhea.
When patients begin to experience more severe symptoms, including:
Feeling tired and unwell
No feeling of hunger and weight loss
Jaundice (yellow stain of skin and eye whites)
Small dots or large patches of red-purple rash
Itching all over the body
If cirrhosis is caused by alcohol or long-term liver disease, you may also experience the following symptoms:
Muscle wasting
Liver palm
Abdominal swollen (due to excessive fluid)
Small bright red spots on skin surrounded by microvascular that look like spider legs (spider moles)
Swollen salivary glands – glands that secrete saliva
Enlarged breasts, testicular atrophy, sparse armpit hair(male)
Advantages Of Stem Cell Therapy On Liver Cirrhosis
Currently, there is no effective treatment for cirrhosis and the liver damage is permanent.
Your doctor may offer some ways to relieve the symptoms of cirrhosis and complications according to your symptoms, such as medication or venous shunts to lower venous pressure. But these methods could only relieve the symptoms rather than cure the disease. In the event of liver failure, liver transplantation is still the most effective treatment, but its usage is limited by the high cost, limited donors, and immune rejection after transplantation.
How Can Stem Cells Therapy For Liver Cirrhosis Work
Stem cell treatment is a method that injects healthy stem cells into patients through intravenous infusion. The stem cells in patients’ bodies with self-replication and multi-directional differentiation potential will help to repair damaged liver cells and restore liver function. Stem cells work through the following four mechanisms:
Self-differentiation: Stem cells can differentiate into hepatic parenchymal cells in endoderm, stem cells can also directly differentiate into endoderm hepatic parenchymal cells, thus replacing damaged liver cells and regenerating healthy liver tissue to restore liver function, and it’s free from immune rejection reactions after transplantation
Immunomodulatory effect: Stem cells can also secrete soluble cytokines to mediate immune suppression, induce immune tolerance, inhibit the proliferation and migration of immune cells to the liver, reduce immune inflammation in the damaged liver, and increase the survival rate of patients with liver disease.
Paracrine effect: The paracrine effect of stem cells is also one important mechanism for promoting liver regeneration and liver damage reduction. Stem cells can produce various cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and exosomes to help with liver tissue repair indirectly or remotely.
Stem cell transplantation can reduce the deposition of collagen in liver tissue: Stem cells also inhibit the expression of transforming growth factor- β1(TGF β1) and smooth muscle actin in liver cells and reduce the severity of liver fibrosis.
