What the procedure involves.
Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for chronic liver diseases including cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and liver failure. China's hepatology centers are global leaders in liver stem cell research, leveraging high patient volumes and advanced cell manufacturing facilities. Treatment aims to promote hepatocyte regeneration, reduce fibrosis, and improve liver function as a bridge to or alternative to transplantation.
Step by step.
Liver Function Assessment
Child-Pugh scoring, MELD calculation, FibroScan, MRI, and comprehensive hepatic panel
Cell Preparation
Allogeneic umbilical cord MSC or autologous bone marrow MSC preparation under GMP conditions
Cell Delivery
Hepatic artery infusion or peripheral intravenous administration of stem cells
Post-treatment Monitoring
Serial liver function tests, imaging follow-up, and fibrosis marker assessment
- China has the largest clinical experience with liver stem cell therapy
- May improve liver function and reduce fibrosis progression
- Potential alternative for patients ineligible for transplantation
- Minimally invasive compared to surgical interventions
- Experimental treatment with variable outcomes
- Temporary fever and discomfort after cell infusion
- Not a proven substitute for liver transplantation in end-stage disease
- Portal hypertension may limit hepatic artery delivery
