Cyanosis due to lack of oxygen, causing bluish skin in light-skinned people, or gray or white skin around the mouth or eyes in dark-skinned people, mainly on the outer part of the fingers in the region around the nails.Īccording to the United States National Institutes of Health, pulmonary fibrosis affects between 13 and 20 of every 100 thousand people worldwide.Suffocation feeling or not being able to catch your breath.Fatigue that does not resolve no matter how much the patient sleeps.
Breath Shortness with little physical activity, such as climbing stairs or walking.Contact your doctor if you have persistent symptoms without improvement: Unfortunately, pulmonary fibrosis is often diagnosed late because its symptoms are similar to those of other lung diseases. Unfortunately, there is no effective conventional treatment for this disease, since medications only delay healing and help preserve lung function. This disease is progressive, which means that it worsens over time, making the lung tissues stiff so they don’t expand as they should, which makes it difficult for the patient to breathe when doing any activity that didn’t seem difficult before, such as walking or performing routine tasks. It affects the lungs, the alveoli (which are air sacs within the lungs) and connective tissue, causing scarring and thickening of the lung tissue. Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious disease that attacks the respiratory system. Schedule your evaluation appointment for more information. CostĪt ProgenCell every patients matters, that’s why a proper evaluation needs to be done in order to determine a treatment plan. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, don’t wait any longer and schedule your appointment at ProgenCell to receive the stem cell treatment that will help improve your symptoms and your quality of life. Stem cells help to reduce inflammation in the lungs, stop the fibrosis progression, slow down the symptoms, delay scarring in lung tissue, and help the patient have better lung function by reducing their supplemental oxygen intake. Stem cell therapy is a hope for patients with recent-onset muscular fibrosis, since it gradually helps to stop the progress of the disease and extend their life expectancy, since these cells help regenerate the lungs. That is why we want to bring the benefits of stem cells to all those patients with a medical condition, even when traditional treatments have had little or no results. As research studies advance and more beneficial qualities for regenerating and repairing tissue are discovered, we are becoming more and more convinced of its potential for anti-aging, prevention and for treating a wide variety of degenerative conditions. That way, they stimulate the natural repair process in the body to combat chronic and degenerative diseases that have no cure, such as pulmonary fibrosis.Īlthough stem cells can be obtained from different sources, such as: bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, adipose tissue and even teeth, we prefer to use fresh, autologous bone marrow as it contains many stimulating factors and growth factors. That means, they can differentiate into a specific cell in the body in order to regenerate and repair a tissue or organ. Among the advantages of their use we find that they have the ability to become any other mesenchymal cell in the body. Since bone marrow stem cells are properly stored, their extraction is minimally invasive. Stem cells derived from bone marrow have a lower risk of rejection and high cell viability, which remain well stored for a long time inside the bones where the bone marrow is located, because they are constantly self-renewing and repairing damage that they could have presented. There is also a second option from allogeneic stem cells derived of adipose tissue, meaning, from the donor patient´s fat deposits or from the umbilical cord. To treat pulmonary fibrosis, autologous stem cells are used (from the patient himself) from his own bone marrow to become another type of cell where it is required in the body. Stem cell regenerative therapy has been used to treat this disease, helping patients to improve their quality of life and respiratory function with greater success when it is applied in the early stages of the disease.Īt ProgenCell we are specialists in regenerative treatment with stem cells, which provides very successful results in patients with pulmonary fibrosis Where do the stem cells that are applied come from? Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that attacks the lungs by making them stiff, causing difficulty breathing and significantly decreased respiratory function. Limited breathing capacity can reduce quality of life and slow down activities that can be performed on a daily basis.
