Lessons Learned
nephropathy/chronic kidney disease
DISEASE
Stromal vascular fraction cells (SVF) can be safely infused into the renal artery.In patients with Mesoamerican nephropathy/chronic kidney disease of unknown cause (CKDU), intra-arterial SVF cell induces changes in the renal vasculature characterized by expansion of blood distribution and reduction in the renal artery resistance index.SVF cells infused into CKDu patients with early stage disease (eGFR >30) appear to demonstrate a renoprotective effect.
