Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious, autoimmune disorder marked by scaling and inflammation on the skin resulting from excessive cell growth. Due to this ailment, red rashes and white scales can manifest on various body parts, especially on the elbows, knees, scalp, nails, etc. Ordinarily, the skin undergoes a gradual renewal process, with cells shedding approximately every four weeks and being replaced by new ones. However, in psoriasis, this natural cycle is disrupted and leads to the rapid movement of new skin cells to the surface within just a week. This causes skin inflammation and patients experience itching, dryness, and scaly rashes, on the skin.

In particular, T cells, a special type of immune cell, release inflammatory proteins (cytokines) within the skin. As a reaction to this protein release, the body produces new skin cells at an accelerated rate which surpasses the normal rate, leading to the formation of lesions and plaques. Psoriasis can be of various types, each presenting distinctive characteristics and each type requires tailored treatment and care for effective management.

• Pustular psoriasis – It is a rare type that displays pus-filled blisters in widespread patches or on the palms and soles.
• Plaque psoriasis – It is the most common type marked by itchy, dry, scaly patches on areas like the scalp and joints.
• Guttate psoriasis – This type affects children and young adults where drop-shaped spots resulting from bacterial infections.
• Nail psoriasis – It specifically impacts nail health, causing pitting, discoloration, and abnormal growth.
• Inverse psoriasis – It affects skin folds with smooth, red patches aggravated by factors like sweat and friction.
• Erythrodermic psoriasis – It is the rarest form that presents a peeling and itchy rash covering the entire body.

While the triggers of Psoriasis can vary from one case to another, the following are common symptoms we’ve outlined:

• Recurrent skin rashes that intensify over a few weeks or months before gradually subsiding
• Patchy scaly skin across the body
• Small white scaling spots
• Scalp exhibiting dandruff-like scaling
• Dry skin prone to cracking and bleeding
• Sepsis
• Itchiness
• Soreness

The symptoms temporarily ease before resurfacing and therefore, it is advisable to get yourself checked for Psoriasis if you are experiencing any of these symptoms. To manage Psoriasis symptoms and find relief from Psoriasis, our regenerative cell therapy using human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells is known to be a relatively safe and effective treatment.

The exact cause of Psoriasis remains incompletely understood. However, it can be ascertained as an immune system malfunction where infection-fighting cells mistakenly target healthy skin cells. Research on Psoriasis education and awareness has concluded that a combination of genetic and environmental factors contributes to its development. It is also important to note that Psoriasis is not a contagious condition.

The following factors have been identified by medical experts as common Psoriasis triggers –

• Skin infections
• Sore throat caused by streptococcal infection
• Weather or environmental factors, particularly cold and dry conditions
• Skin injuries, such as cuts, scrapes, bug bites, or severe sunburn
• Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Certain medications, including lithium, drugs for high blood pressure, and malaria
• Abrupt cessation of oral or injected corticosteroids

A dermatologist can easily diagnose Psoriasis by examining the skin of the patient. This test is known as a skin biopsy where a small area of your skin is removed and examined under a microscope to confirm whether you have Psoriasis.

When a Psoriasis patient reaches out to us for stem cell treatment, he or she is asked to submit an online application form mentioning the persistent symptoms, time of the onset of the symptoms, past illness, surgeries, medical histories, family history, allergies, etc. This information in this form helps our medical experts and stem cell specialists to understand your condition better, assess the severity of Psoriasis, and plan the ideal treatment protocol for you. A proper diagnosis of your condition and a comprehensive medical history allows us to curate a cutting-edge and personalized Psoriasis treatment only for you.

At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, mesenchymal stem cells are collected from the human umbilical cord donated by healthy mothers after a baby’s birth. These are new cells found in Wharton’s Jelly and have distinct properties that make them an ideal choice for Psoriasis treatment. It eliminates the severity and complexity of systemic immune-mediated or autoimmune disorders like Psoriasis.

Using human umbilical cord tissue-derived Mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) have the following benefits –

• They are capable of self-renewing and rapid cell division and their regenerative properties aid in quick healing of skin damaged by Psoriasis.
• Administration of HUCT-MSCs induces cytokine production which regulates the activity and growth of the immune system cells in the body.
• HUCT-MSCs prevent further damage to the skin and reduce skin darkening (Acanthosis) and inflammation.
• They are capable of fighting off pathogens, foreign invaders, and infections by restoring and boosting the production of Th1 and Th17 lymphocytes.
• Stem cell therapies are a minimally invasive procedure and are a safe treatment option for Psoriasis patients.
• The recovery time is faster and there are zero to minimum chances of any potential side effects.
• Mesenchymal stem cells of the human umbilical cord are undifferentiated cells, and hence, there is no risk of cell rejection by your body.

After properly examining your condition and studying the severity of the Psoriasis condition, we determine whether a patient is suitable for stem cell treatment. Various factors influence the decision of whether you are an ideal candidate for receiving stem cell therapies. These include the patient’s age, height, weight, past medical records, medical histories, any experience with chemotherapy, surgeries, etc.

After considering all the above-mentioned factors, if you seem suitable for the treatment, our doctors will prepare a recommended treatment protocol which will be conveyed to you by our patient coordinators. In general, intravenous infusions of HUCT-MSCs are done at our institute, and stem cells are administered at frequent intervals during the entire treatment course. The intravenous injection of stem cells usually takes an hour or two.
