Working and outcomes of stem cells transplants

The types of diseases treated by Stem Cells Stem cell transplants cure both cancerous and noncancerous diseases. In the case of non cancerous diseases like plastic anemia, the stem cell in the patient’s body works but not works well to make adequate amount of new blood cells. The non functioning stem cells are destroyed when the fresh transplanted stem cells are infused into the patient’s body and take the place of production of new blood cells.

  1. Working and outcomes of stem cells transplants

  2. A stem celltransplant is a very effective and popular treatment today. Basically, to cure some particular disease the healthy stem cells are infused into the body. The stem cells are also important if in case your bone marrow stops working and does not produce anymore healthy stem cells. Stem cell transplantincreases your platelet cells including WBC and RBCs in your body because these diseases are life threatening diseases and can be cured with the help of stem cell transplant.

  3. Look at the procedure • Referred to as bone marrow transplants, these stem cells operate well if the patients are unable to make healthy stem cells. These act as building blocks to WBCs and RBCs because WBCs fights against infection and similarly the platelets in our body removes clotting of blood and RBCs transport nutrients to our body in our body and all these have their sole purpose to sustain life in a proper way. The patients who suffer from this disease can have these cells from either the donor source or from the preserved cells achieved form the umbilical cord blood. This procedure is followed by placing the catheter in the central line of the chest and the healthy transferred stem cells are impregnated into the body.

  4. The types of diseases treated by Stem Cells • Stem cell transplants cure both cancerous and noncancerous diseases. In the case of non cancerous diseases like plastic anemia, the stem cell in the patient’s body works but not works well to make adequate amount of new blood cells. The non functioning stem cells are destroyed when the fresh transplanted stem cells are infused into the patient’s body and take the place of production of new blood cells. There are also other diseases like leukemia in which it affects the bone marrow and thus the successful stem cells transplant can help in killing those cancer cells by adding the healthy stem cells.

  5. Preparation • When the healthy stem cells are infused into the patient’s body then before infusing the patient’s body goes under conditioning.  This conditioning includes radiation and chemotherapy to kill cancer cells as well as stamp down the body’s immune system. Due to suppression, the patient’s is prone to high risk of infection and similarly the chemotherapy is also prone to high risk of infection and causes nausea, anemia, plenty hair loss and sores and ulcers in mouth.

  6. Outcomes • The outcomes of stem cell transplants are although good but it can’t cure all the diseases. Patients who experience a stem cell transplant applying the stem cells harvested from their own bodies often get more rapidly over an illness than patients whose stem cell transplants used donor cells. The donor cells cause various problems with their immune system.
