Lupus

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or simply Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the immune system becomes overactive and starts attacking its own healthy cells and tissues. In the normal human body, immune systems provide protection against antigens and foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, and germs. However, in Lupus patients, the immune system fails to differentiate between the body’s healthy cells and harmful antigens. As a consequence, the antibodies attack both types of cells which start affecting the body’s organs and systems like joints, skin, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and blood.

Lupus is an inflammatory condition causing widespread symptoms like inflammation, pain, and swelling when the immune system malfunctions. It starts destroying healthy tissues in various body parts and systems. Lupus can be of various types, each having their distinct set of symptoms, some of which are temporary and some are long-lasting. For instance, symptoms of subacute cutaneous lupus appear in patients when exposed to direct sunlight. Currently, there are more than 20 neuro-psychiatric syndromes caused by SLE, leading to severe damage to nerve cells. Moreover, if not treated in time, Lupus can cause severe dysfunction in the body such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory problems, kidney failure, skin damage, COPD, and blood vessel damage.

SLE symptoms range from mild to severe and also vary from patient to patient. However, the most prominent and distinctive symptom is a characteristic rash spreading across the cheeks and nose. This is commonly named Butterfly wings because of the shape the rash takes when it spreads over the cheeks and nose. In the majority of cases, this is the first symptom to appear in Lupus patients and also makes the diagnosis process easy for the doctors.

Apart from the butterfly rash, other common and resultant symptoms of Lupus are –

Inflammation
Joint pain and swelling
Muscle pain
Skin lesion or Raynaud’s phenomenon (fingers and toes turn white or blue)
Dry eyes
Headache
Severe fatigue
Fever
Difficulty in breathing
Chest pain

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is caused when the immune system gets hyperactive and what exactly causes this is still not known. Information from Lupus community resources and research indicates that hereditary and environmental factors primarily trigger the symptoms of Lupus, although there are other factors responsible as well.

Genetics – The chances of developing Lupus are higher in those who have a family history of SLE.

Age – Although anyone can get affected by SLE, individuals in the age group of 14 to 45 years are more prone to this autoimmune disease.

Hormonal factors – Hormonal imbalances in females during pregnancy or menstruation might influence the development of SLE.

Ethnic factors – Sometimes your background is responsible for developing SLE. For example, ethnic groups in Native America, Asia, and Africa have been seen getting affected by Lupus more.

Environment – Environment and climatic conditions like sunlight or UV exposure can also cause SLE.

Since most of the symptoms closely resemble the symptoms seen in other ailments, particularly autoimmune, Lupus is quite challenging to diagnose. Also, there are various types of Lupus, having a different set of symptoms, which make it even more difficult to diagnose them. That being said, there is one common distinctive sign or symptom that is manifested as a result of developing Lupus and it is a butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose. Furthermore, the doctors can also advise some blood tests to check inflammation, liver function, etc.

For a thorough diagnosis of the severity of your condition, patients are required to complete our Patient online application form including all the personal details, medical history, past surgeries, chemotherapy (if any), current symptoms, any allergies, and more. To determine your suitability for stem cell therapy, our experienced lupus specialists in Mexico need to know whether you have any other pre-existing conditions like cardiac problems, respiratory disorders, blood-related disorders, etc. Therefore, you need to be completely transparent and honest regarding all the information you provide to us.

Personalized and cutting-edge lupus treatment aims to help lupus patients by providing relief from symptoms. We, at Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, are here to make your life easy, pain-free, and stress-free with our treatment and holistic care.

We use only the best quality mesenchymal stem cells sourced from Wharton Jelly of the human umbilical cord following normal and healthy births.

Stem cell therapy for Lupus brings the following advantages to our patients’ lives.

Umbilical cord tissue has a plentiful supply of stem cells compared to adult stem cells like bone marrow or adipose tissue.
Human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) are unique and undifferentiated cells capable of self-renewing and differentiating into a large variety of tissues. Hence, its effectiveness in treating Lupus is high.
They are potentially rich in immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. When introduced into a patient’s bloodstream they target and repair damaged tissues in the affected organs and systems.
Stem cell treatment for Systemic Lupus at our institute is safe, affordable, and accessible for patients across the world. We empower patients and improve their quality of life with our advanced treatment.
It eliminates the need for stem cell collection from hip bone or fat from a patient’s body which is a complex, painful, and unpleasant experience.
Since we do not collect stem cells from patients, there is no need for chemotherapy drug administration for bone marrow stimulation for the production of granulocytes and stem cells to release later into the bloodstream.
Chances of cell rejection are almost nil because HUCT-MSCs are new cells collected from the umbilical cord of newborn babies and they are immune system privileged.

After being diagnosed with Systemic Lupus and submitting your requested medical information online, we will evaluate your condition to determine your eligibility for stem cell treatment. If you are deemed suitable, our medical professionals will connect with you and assign a specific treatment protocol.

However, you need to know the treatment protocol or procedure may vary from person to person, depending on the age, body weight, severity of the condition, and medical factors. In most cases, stem cells are administered intravenously (into the veins) multiple times during the span of your treatment which may range from 3 to 5 days. The process is minimally invasive and painless but yields effective outcomes.

Studies on Lupus condition and potential treatment options reveal that the majority of the patients responded to the treatment with some of them reporting relief from symptoms very soon after the treatment. Evidence on the immune modulation capabilities of HUCT-MSCs suggests that they

Directly suppress ongoing mixed lymphocyte reactions.
Produce immunosuppressive cytokines, such as IL-10.
Generate immunosuppressive enzymes, including indoleamine 2,3-deoxygenase.
Inhibit the activity of natural killer cells and CD8 cytotoxic T cells.
Inhibit dendritic cell maturation.
Stimulate the production of T regulatory cells.

Furthermore, studies on the potential of stem cell therapy for Lupus treatment breakthroughs show that stem cells are capable of inhibiting pathological processes in SLE and also reversing renal or kidney damage.

If you are seeking a customized regenerative medicine program to treat Lupus symptoms, we are the right place to contact. You no longer need to endure all the pain and go through all the suffering because of this debilitating condition. We promise our patients that our therapies will relieve them from the symptoms. You might expect an enhancement in your quality of life in the following ways –
