Only to reiterate what we have learned this week within this unit the kidney is a red bean-like
structure organ that is responsible for filtering the blood of any sort of harmful also known as
waste products or particles and fluid that is a part of the urinary system. Additionally, the kidneys
also remove acids from the blood and regulate its nutrient requirement and water as well; The
waste then travels via the urethra in both males and females; but the men have a longer tube that
channels to the outside of the body to release as urine/ pee. As all know the great importance of
the functioning of the kidney any interference of improper operation can and will result in either
an acute or chronic kidney injury.
Acute kidney injury.
This type of kidney injury is also known as acute renal failure, (ARF) which is the actual failure
of the organ in a short space of time. Like most other organs and their system, the kidney also
deteriorates over time due to the natural aging process itself. When the kidney begins to under-
function it results in a build-up of waste or toxins within the blood due to the fact that an
incorrect balance of fluid is left in the human body. Healthcare workers have also confirmed that
patients who are having any type of kidney malfunctioning would experience symptoms such as
breathing issues, skin irritation, chills, and nausea only to bring forth a few of them can be
channeled down to other organs of the human anatomy such as heart, lungs and the brain.
In addition to this acute kidney Injury, (AKI) can be caused by several factors such as a block in
the passage that obstruct the flow of urine that will result in an infection, a reduced amount of
oxygenated blood to the organ, another condition such as diabetes, transplants and other
surgeries. Like every other ailment/ disease or clinical abnormality, a treatment plan had to be
formulated which in this case is stem cells to aid in individuals who are experiencing or have
experienced acute kidney injury. Stem cells act by utilizing the body's original cells to create
new ones that are known as daughter cells and have a special task within the body that can be
done either when the body homeostasis, (at the right temperature/ conditions) or in a lab via a
technician. It is all be term as special human cells that have the ability t develop into many
different cell types throughout the entire body. In addition to this
Benefits.
General anesthesia is not needed.
It reduces pain effectively- It decreases inflammation associated with pain. While
aiming to repair and regenerate the affected region while producing pain relief.
Prevents nerve damage.
Minimal post-recovery-Speedily recovery after stem cell usage, helps to the
normal life faster.
Promote responsible innovation- treatment is now advanced within this medical
field that aids to remake damaged nerves, tissues, cartilages, and muscles while
resulting in safe and efficient
