The use of Repair Stem Cells never ceases to amaze me. Out of all the possible
conditions/diseases that can be helped with adult stem cells, I have to admit I didn't see this one coming- Repair (adult) Stem Cells can help pregnant women with high blood pressure!
The high blood pressure caused by pregnancy can be a cause of prenatal and maternal mortality.
Hypertension is the most common medical problem encountered during pregnancy, complicating 2-3% of pregnancies. Therefore, this use of Repair Stem Cells should be saving countless lives in the year to come. Here's more:
Hypertension develops after completion of 20 weeks of pregnancy.The disease usually starts with swelling over legs, hands and puffiness of face, gradually. As a result, the pregnant woman starts showing spikes in the reading of her blood pressure, all this creates problems. Hence the disease is termed as 'Syndrome of theories', he said. Dr Satish Patki of Patki research centre said he had developed a unique autologus bone marrow derived stem cell therapy to cure this grave disease with the help of senior scientist Dr Ramesh Bhonde, who is working at National Centre for Cell Science, a Government of India organisation.He claimed that they had treated 15 pregnant women suffering from severe hypertension and associated complications by this novel technique. It had cured the disorder almost completely. Four patients had delivered healthy babies, he pointed out.the stem cells from the patients' own bone marrow were isolated and injected in her uterus near placental site under sonography guidance in order to enrich the uterus with the stock of stem cells. The patients started showing dramatic improvement in the blood pressure readings, swelling on legs and even fatal parameters like fluid volume, blood flows on Doppler studies and weight starts improving rapidly. This could probably due to increased vascularisation and improved blood flow to the placental unit," he said. The treatment on these women has shown that this therapy can be useful in bringing down the maternal and perinatal mortality across the world caused due to pregnancy hypertension syndrome called pre-eclampsia or its more severe form called eclampsia when associated with maternal convulsions, Patki said. Ho Hum- just another way adult stem cell therapy can help humans now! Not mice, not hype, not just hope- adult stem cells are helping.
