Know More About COPD
Uncover all the insights needed to completely understand COPD, its symptoms, causes, procedure of stem cell therapy, benefits, and cost.
COPD is the full form of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease which is a very common progressive lung disorder resulting in breathing difficulty in patients. It is a medical umbrella term used by health advocates to describe a cluster of inflammatory and persistent lung conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchiectasis.
Till now, there is no real or definitive cure for COPD, but regenerative therapies such as stem cell treatment can be beneficial for alleviating its symptoms because stem cells reduce inflammation, repair and restore damaged lung tissues, and induce the production of new tissues. COPD if not diagnosed and treated on time can lead to devastating consequences, impacting the overall quality of the patient’s life. The symptoms worsen as you delay and the damage made to the lung tissues can’t be undone.
Chronic Bronchitis is characterized by inflammation in the airways carrying air to the lungs and mucus is formed in the respiratory passage. As a result, the air passage gets blocked causing difficulty in breathing or leading to shortness of breath. This disorder can slowly develop over a while without any major noticeable symptoms of breathlessness. In emphysema, the small air sacs in your lungs that expand and contract when you breathe get damaged. This makes them lose their stretch, causing you to feel out of breath. Our proven and effective COPD stem cell treatment is the appropriate treatment solution for this type of condition.
As the COPD condition worsens, it becomes harder to breathe and causes issues with airflow. Patients might be at increased risk of other long-term inflammatory diseases, heart problems, etc. The common COPD signs and symptoms include:
Feeling short of breath, especially when doing physical activities
Making wheezing sounds while breathing
Feeling tightness in the chest
Having too much mucus in the lungs
Persistent cough
Getting respiratory infections often
Feeling low on energy
Experiencing swelling in ankles, feet, or legs
Having bluish lips and fingernails (cyanosis)
People with COPD are more likely to experience times when their symptoms get worse and last for several days. These are called exacerbations.
Most people with COPD either smoke or use to smoke, and hence, smoking is one of the main reasons for getting COPD.
However, studies also suggest that around 25 percent of people with COPD surveyed never smoked. Long-term exposure to things that can irritate the lungs, like air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust, can also lead to COPD.
Sometimes, COPD can happen because of an infection caused by bacteria or a virus. This infection makes the air passages in the lungs become inflamed and narrow.
In COPD, the flow of air in and out of the airways is reduced because of one or more of these reasons:
The walls of the airways get inflamed and thick.
The airways and air sacs lose their stretchiness or elasticity.
The walls between the air sacs get damaged.
The airways produce more mucus than usual, which can block them.
Although tests associated with Lung function and chest X-rays are essential to diagnose COPD, doctors might look into these prognostic factors to guess whether the patient is suffering from COPD. Some of these factors include:
Not being able to do much exercise
Having a hard time breathing because of a blockage in the airways
Feeling short of breath
Being underweight
Having trouble breathing and the lungs not working well
Smoking cigarettes
Exposure to toxic or harmful chemicals
Genetic factors
Bronchial hyper-reactivity
Apart from these, patients are required to submit an online patient application form where all the personal health details and medical history need to be entered which will help our doctors to understand your condition better and suggest the best possible treatment for you. These details include your past ailments, whether you have any pre-existing conditions, medications, allergies, etc. Based on your current symptoms, age, weight, and overall physical health, our doctors will determine whether you are an eligible candidate for stem cell treatment.
Stem cell therapy is a highly effective and safe COPD treatment aimed at improving the patient’s quality of life by managing symptoms. The stem cells injected into your body use the body’s innate healing capabilities, called regeneration to alleviate the COPD symptoms. The advantages of opting for stem cell therapy for COPD are –
The stem cell administration process is minimally invasive, less painful, and does not involve surgery or anesthesia.
Stem cells, particularly human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) have unique capabilities to differentiate into any cell types, like tissue, nerves, organs, bones, fats, etc. So, they heal the damaged lung tissues faster than stem cells collected from alternative sources.
The chances of cell rejection are zero and there are no side effects of HUCT-MSCs administration in COPD patients.
HUCT-MSCs divide and regenerate vital lung tissues and blood vessels and these cells are rich in anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Therefore, they boost the body’s ability to repair and replace damaged cells caused by COPD.
Your living stem cells can also split into the connective tissue and membrane forming the lining of the air sacs. They can also develop into tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which transport oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the circulatory system.
When your air sacs and capillaries are healthier, your body becomes more efficient at rapidly spreading oxygen throughout as you breathe in and removing carbon dioxide as you breathe out.
Stem cell therapies aim to provide long-lasting results and involve a minimum stay at the hospital.
Typically, it may take three to six months for your body to experience maximum improvement from the therapy. However, relief from symptoms due to reduced lung inflammation could potentially begin much earlier.
Our stem cell therapy for COPD in Mexico uses mesenchymal stem cells derived from the human umbilical cord of healthy mothers following birth to achieve optimal functioning of the regeneration process. The rich therapeutic properties of these cells support the repair of worn-out lung tissues and help patients recover quickly.
The procedure of stem cell administration is minimally invasive and is done under the direction and supervision of our stem cell experts and experienced COPD specialists. In general, for COPD treatment, the stem cells can be injected into the body either through intravenous infusions or intra-pulmonary route. However, for better results and higher effectiveness, the process of intravenous administration is preferred.
At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, we have a team of highly proficient and experienced medical professionals who conduct the stem cell therapy procedure with utmost care and compassion.
The most prominent symptoms of COPD are chronic and systemic inflammation in the lungs. Stem cell therapy is considered a COPD treatment breakthrough because it not only eases the symptoms of COPD but also targets the root cause of it. The cells improve pulmonary function and reduce inflammation by modulating the immune system.
Pre-clinical studies and research on stem cells for COPD show some promising findings. They reveal that human umbilical cord tissue-derived stem cells aid in the regeneration of alveolar-like structures, reduction of inflammatory responses, and repair of emphysematous lungs. Introducing stem cells into the body signals the cells to produce molecules such as extracellular matrix proteins, peptides, and other growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration. Further studies also reveal that there is a reduction of the inflammatory marker, which is the C-reactive protein.
Also, the safety and effectiveness of COPD treatment using stem cells are high and the responses from our patients are satisfactory. However, it is important for every COPD patient to understand that efficacy and success are tied up to multiple factors such as age, weight, pre-existing ailment, severity of the condition, patient lifestyle, and others.
Being one of the leading COPD treatment centers in Mexico for stem cell therapy, our promise to our patients is to empower and support COPD patients and help them lead normal lives like before. The benefits of stem cell treatment vary from individual to individual depending on various factors like the severity of the condition and medical history. But still, the following improvements are observed in the majority of our patients after undergoing treatment.
Improved breathing
Support increased activity, energy, and stamina
Enhanced sleep quality and sleep patterns
Increased ability to move, walk, and climb stairs, without feeling breathlessness
