Safety and Efficacy Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Treating Kidney Fibrosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In progressive kidney diseases, fibrosis represents the common pathway to end-stage kidney failure. The potential for stem cells to treat kidney failure was recently confirmed. Particularly, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) has been demonstrated to protect kidney function and alleviating renal injury in these patients. Therefore, the investigators propose a hypothesis that MSCs (MSC) can also improve the disease conditions of kidney fibrosis patients, particularly reducing the decompensated conditions in these patients.

Detailed Description
Kidney fibrosis represents the common pathway to end-stage kidney failure.The potential for stem cells to treat kidney failure was recently confirmed. In particular, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has been applicated in the clinic for treat several human diseases such as GVHD, kidyney injury and displayed good tolerance and efficiency. The purpose of this study is to learn whether and how MSCs (MSC) can improve the disease conditions in patients with kidney fibrosis. This study will also look at safety in these patients.
