Stem Cell treatment for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Characterized by progressive scarring that causes the lung to lose flexibility, and its function deteriorates over time.

Stem cell treatment is a valuable alternative for people suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, since it promotes tissue regeneration and reduces the pathology’s inflammatory reactions and processes, which improves the patient’s quality of life.

At Stem Life Clinic, we have a therapeutic protocol for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis with stem cells, which has been shown to improve the quality of life of patients, reducing multiple comorbidities and dependence on supplemental oxygen.

What is pulmonary fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic condition that impacts the function of both lungs by causing gradual scarring or fibrosis. This process decreases the flexibility of the lungs and leads to tissue degeneration and lung function decline.

This disease mainly affects individuals over the age of 60, and its exact causes are still being researched although, factors such as family history, exposure to some specific airborne pollutants, and the natural course of the aging process are believed to be linked to the development of this condition.

Current treatments rely on antifibrotic medication that is costly and does not offer a cure for the condition. One more option is to have a lung transplant, which can be costly and hard to achieve because it can take a very long time to find a matching donor, it also has a one to five-year survival rate post-treatment while having to take lifetime medication to fight and prevent rejection. 

What is stem cell treatment for pulmonary fibrosis like?

Stem cells have emerged as a promising treatment for inflammatory lung diseases. They work by regulating the immune system´s activity, reducing oxidative stress, modulating inflammation and altering fibrosis progression to decrease it and stop it. It also promotes tissue regeneration in the affected areas and improve their function.

Mesenchymal stem cells have shown significant regenerative potential due to their capability to differentiate into multiple tissue types and release anti-inflammatory factors, which mitigate the advancement of lung damage, and in some cases stops it.

Stem cell treatment Benefits

Stem cell treatment offers a multifaceted approach to combat pulmonary fibrosis, providing vital benefits such as inflammation reduction, fostering lung tissue regeneration, immune response regulation, decreased oxygen dependency, extended life expectancy, and halting disease progression. Ultimately, this transformative therapy restores patients’ quality of life, offering hope and renewed vitality.
