Stem Cell Therapy For Vasculitis

About Vasculitis

Vasculitis is the disease of blood vessels that can result in damage to multiple or single body organs. The recent treatment of vasculitis with Stem Cell Therapy has gained popularity because of its good prognosis. In comparison to the traditional treatments, SCT can be the most significant treatment alternative.

What is Vasculitis?

Vasculitis is the blood vessels inflammation that occurs as a result of blood vessels thickening and reduction of width for blood flow. If the flow of blood gets restricted, it can lead to several organ and tissue damage. Vasculitis is of many types which might involve one or multiple organs. Most of the Vasculitis types require prevention of flare-ups and inflammation control.

What causes Vasculitis?

Blood cancers

  • Adverse reactions to specific medications and drugs

  • Different infections as hepatitis C and B

  • Diseases of the immune system as scleroderma, lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis

What are the risk factors for Vasculitis?

Lifestyle choices and habits

  • Family history of the disease

  • Age – it rarely occurs in individuals before the 50-years of age

  • Specific medications ad propylthiouracil, allopurinol, and minocycline

  • Immune diseases or disorders

  • Gender – more common among females

What are the Vasculitis symptoms?

  • Headache and fatigue

  • Weight loss and general body pain

  • Fever and aches

  • Digestive system disorders as perforations and ulcers

  • Dizziness or ringing of ears

  • Itching or burning sensation in eyes

  • Weakness or numbness in the feet and hands

  • Shortness of breath and blood cough up

  • Skin bleeding


THE TREATMENT JOURNEY

How is Vasculitis commonly treated?

The most common treatment approaches for Vasculitis consist of:

  • Medications: corticosteroid drugs and other medications as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab, mycophenolate, tocilizumab, and methotrexate

  • Invasive procedures: aneurysm resections

  • Lifestyle changes and modifications

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem Cells are the natural repair process of your body parts. SCs are present in our fat cells, bone marrow cells and in this case, we use Mesenchymal Stem Cells from donor cord blood. If you place the SCs over the area of damage, then these cells can lead to the activation of new and healthy cells. This healing process is what our body needs. Stem Cell Therapy helps boost body repair mechanisms and introduces the new stem cells.

How can Stem Cells Therapy treat Vasculitis?

Stem Cell Therapy is the most promising and unique intervention for vasculitis conditions. This treatment is specifically for patients who have less response to the traditional treatments and interventions. Mesenchymal Stem Cells can help in improving the disease severity and further complications. MSCs find the inflammation and damaged cells in the body to target them and repair or replace these cells with healthier ones. Moreover, Stem Cells also have contributed to the expansion of the regulatory T-cells to suppress the activity of T-cells or autoimmune diseases.

How is the treatment at The Renue Medical Centre different?

The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Medical Centre is a holistic approach to treating Vasculitis. 

Your Regen Journey does not end after your last day of SCT. We follow up with you to assert your progress, since the treatment for Vasculitis with Stem Cells consists of four phases:

  1. Pre-treatment: clinical evaluation, lab test results, and other diagnostic procedures. You will take our Regen Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics that will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs chronological).

    After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.

  2. Treatment day: the treatment starts with taking a specific amount of blood through apheresis. After taking the Stem Cells, the rest of the blood is returned to the donor.

  3. 30, 60 & 90 days post-treatment follow up: Vasculitis symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, and lab test results.

  4. 6 months post-treatment: Vasculitis symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, lab test results, X-ray report, and review of the diagnostic criteria.

Significance of Hyperbaric chambers post-treatment:

Hyperbaric Chambers are oxygen-rich chambers. Three sessions are given to the patients after the treatment to:

  • Mobilization of the already administered Stem Cells in the body to proliferate the further growth of the Stem Cells

  • Reduce the levels of different antibodies like IgM and IgA, yielding an immunosuppressive effect on the body

  • Cause positive effects of oxygen therapy in treating inflammation 

  • Cause upregulation of several beneficial growth factors 

  • Downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines

Lessen the need for drug therapy in combination with the Stem Cell Therapy.

EXPECTED RESULTS 

SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes

The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.

As part of the Regen Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to combat Vasculitis. These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.

According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre-and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help

  • reduce Vasculitis progression

  • speed up tissue repair

  • regrow and repair tissues after six months

After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.

Talk to our Patient Advisor to know more about SCT at The Renue Medical Centre.

Expected results and prognosis:

After Stem Cell Therapy, the patient can experience immediate relief from the symptoms and gain improved life quality.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

What are the risk factors for Vasculitis?

The most common and mild side-effects of Stem Cells Therapy for Vasculitis are:

  • Painful injection area /site

  • Allergic reactions

  • Fever

  • Lethargy and fatigue

  • Bleeding from the site of injection

Management of risks:

Fever, lethargy, and pain are managed through the appropriate drugs along with the treatment. Pre-treatment education can help with awareness of slight side effects of the therapy. Bleeding and swelling of the injured site is manageable via proper technique. Allergic reactions are preventable through pre-injection history and care.

Stem Cell Therapy is a new and promising method of treating Vasculitis. It has the potential to be more effective than previous methods and also carries less risk. At present, stem cell technology is still in the developmental stage, but rapid developments and advances indicate its potential uses in direct treatments of Vasculitis.

The benefits and effects of Stem Cell Therapy depend on several factors: the patient's health condition, underlying issues, lifestyle, and others.
