Kidney failure manifests itself when the kidneys cannot filter water products from the blood. This in turn may lead to swelling of the body, increased levels of acid, potassium and phosphate, and decreased levels of calcium. Kidney failure is associated with bone and cardiovascular diseases. The two main forms of kidney failure are acute kidney injury, which is often reversible with adequate treatment, and chronic kidney disease, which is often not reversible.
Different types of cells from the bone marrow have been tested in animals and in clinical studies for potential use in kidney disease. Out of all the cells investigated, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown the most promising results till now. Studies suggest that MSCs may be able to enhance the kidney’s ability to repair itself.
