Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent inflammatory condition that extends beyond joint pain and discomfort. It impacts various body systems including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels for some individuals. RA is classified as an autoimmune disorder because it occurs when the immune system mistakenlytargets the body’s own tissues. It primarily affects joint linings and results in significant swelling that may progress to bone erosion and joint deformities.

The inflammation triggered by RA can extend its impact to other parts of your body as well.Although modern medications have significantly enhanced treatment options, severe RA may still impose physical restrictions. This autoimmune response in RA prompts the immune system to produce cellular and antibody responses against joint components like type I collagen. Consequently, not only does it lead to joint degradation, but it also gives rise to secondary complications such as pulmonary fibrosis, renal damage, and even cardiac issues. Stem cell therapy is considered a transformative therapeutic approach for serious autoimmune conditions like RA and has been successful in providing relief to patients worldwide.

Stem cell therapy has shown efficacy in addressing rheumatoid arthritis by alleviating the following symptoms associated with RA:

• Joint Pain
• Joint Stiffness
• Swelling, warmth, and redness in the joints
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Sweating
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues in the joints. Many factors trigger this condition and symptoms like joint pain, swelling,  stiffness, and fatigueness start showing in sufferers. This occurs because the immune system attacks the synovium, which is the layer or coating that cushions the joints.

The primary cause of RA is genetic factors. Individuals with variations in human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes have higher chances of developing RA. The function of HLA genes is to differentiate between proteins that the body creates and harmful proteins produced by foreign invaders in the body like bacteria and viruses. Incapabilities of the immune system to differentiate between the two types of proteins, trigger symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis as it starts assaulting its own body proteins.

Apart from inherited genetics, some non-genetic factors also cause RA. These are:

• Your age – Although it can happen to anyone at any age, individuals in middle age are more likely to get affected by this autoimmune condition.
• Your sex – Compared to men, women are more prone to RA, the reasons for which are still unknown.
• Smoking – Though it might not be the exact cause, cigarette smoking certainly increases your risk or triggers the severity of RA.
• Excessive weight – Obese or overweight individuals are more exposed to the risk of developing Rheumatoid arthritis.

Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis is a challenging and complicated process because other conditions also cause similar symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. This is why you are first required to book a free consultation with one of our health experts to share your symptoms and tell us how long you have been experiencing them. This will help our doctors to understand your health condition better and assist you in the best possible way.

Later, you’ll be also required to submit an online patient application form where you need to enter your details, explain the symptoms of your condition, your past medical ailments, pre-existing health conditions, any allergies, histories of surgeries, etc. because we need to know your health better to determine whether your body is capable of receiving stem cell therapy for arthritis. Before starting with the treatment procedure, we conduct some blood tests and a physical examination like an X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI, etc. to know the severity of your RA condition.

Administering human umbilical cord-tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) can significantly improve the overall health of RA patients by stabilizing the overactive immune system and reducing inflammation. Stem cells have huge potential to slow the progression of the condition and repair damaged tissues. With their anti-inflammatory capabilities, they alleviate pain and increase mobility in RA sufferers.

The advantages of choosing stem cell therapy using HUCT-MSCs are as follows –

• The human umbilical cord, donated by healthy mothers, is a source of an abundant supply of stem cells. It is almost 10 times more than other sources like bone marrow, adipose tissue, etc.
• They are rich in immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive agents which eliminate any chances of cell rejection.
• These stem cells have a very high proliferation capability compared to other stem cells.
• The regeneration rate of these stem cells is also very rapid.
• The cells are very young, and adaptive, and are not impacted by the process of natural aging.
• They have not been affected by environmental toxins, pollutants, etc. since they are freshly collected cells from the umbilical cord of newly born babies.
• These can be administered multiple times during the treatment course.
• Stem cell therapy using HUCT-MSCs has a faster recovery time.

Our stem cell administration process is performed by certified and trained medical professionals of Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute. The three most common methods of stem cell administration are –

• Intravenous – Injecting stem cells into the vein.
• Intramuscular – Injecting stem cells into the muscles.
• Intraarterial – Injecting stem cells into the artery.

After considering your current health condition, potential complications, your age, and other factors, we decide on the medical procedure for the stem cell treatment. Intravenous infusion is the most widely used method of stem cell application in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Stem cell therapy and arthritis have always been an important topic of discussion amongst health advocates because of the tremendous opportunity stem cell therapy holds in fighting off arthritis, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.  Our treatment protocol has remarkably brought improvements in RA patients. It has reduced joint inflammation, deformities, and pain while accelerating natural healing. It regulates the overactive immune system, shuts off pathological responses, and preserves its capabilities to fight off RA.

Stem cells produce anti-inflammatory agents that act on the inflamed tissues affected by the autoimmune disease and regulate the immune response, instead of suppressing it. Positive results are expected to be observed in the patient’s body very soon after the treatment. First, umbilical cord stem cell therapy for Rheumatoid arthritis boosts the production of T regulatory cells. Secondly, Mesenchymal stem cells reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines called IL-6 and TNF. Although traditional RA treatments aim to target the same, they can do so temporarily.

We have observed an enhancement in the quality of life of our patients treated at our institute. Also, you can expect long-lasting results because stem cells target the root cause and treat the dysregulated immune response, rather than simply providing you with short-term relief from the symptoms.

We put our patients’ needs first, always! Our promise to them is to help them overcome the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis and get them back to enjoying their life to the fullest. With our cutting-edge stem cell treatment, we reduce the likelihood of the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking its own cells and tissues in the joints. Furthermore, Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute takes immense pride in being one of the safest and most reputed stem cell clinics for stem cell therapy for arthritis in Mexico.

We follow a minimally invasive treatment procedure where stem cells are administered either through intravenous or directed into the affected joints to decrease inflammation, repair damaged tissues, and restore new cells. We are committed to giving our patients top-notch care and treatment for RA and helping them to achieve long-term good health.

After our medical team analyzes the cause of your symptoms and understands the severity of the conditions, they will recommend tests for accurate diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is completed, they prepare a targeted treatment plan personalized for you to address the root cause of your symptoms of RA. The cost of this customized treatment plan relies on various factors, some of which are –

• Age, weight, and height of the patient.
• Past medical histories
• The severity of the RA condition
• Treatment procedure
