What Is Lupus ?

Lupus is one of the types of autoimmune disorder, wherein body’s own immune system attack the tissues causing them to inflamed, swelled and damage. The damage can be to any organs of the body such as skin, kidney, blood, heart, lungs, etc. Lupus is not a contagious disease, nor is it related to any kind of cancer.
It generally develops due to genetic abnormalities or hormonal imbalances in the body. It can range from mild to life threatening conditions and hence should never be ignored.

How Prevalent Is Lupus ?

upus or more precisely Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an auto immune disorder affecting people of all the ages from infancy to old age. Its prevalence is most commonly observed in child bearing years. The susceptibility of the female to the lupus is known to be far more than males. The reported ratio is 4-12 females per 1 male.
Researchers have linked up genetic malfunction as the leading cause of the abnormality. Thus people with the family history are at a higher risk of development than others. On the basis of racial discrimination, it has been observed that Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians are at a higher risk of its development than whites.

Factors Responsible For Lupus

The exact cause of the development of lupus is not known but scientists have strong data suggesting genetic abnormalities, hormonal imbalances and geographical distribution as the leading factors, responsible for its development.

Symptoms Associated With The Lupus

Symptoms of Lupus may vary, but some of the common symptoms may be as follows

  • Swelling and pain due to swelling, especially in the weight bearing joints and muscles.
  • Repeated attack of fever without any specific cause.
  • Red rashes all over the body, but most often on face.
  • Pain in the chest area when taking deep breath.
  • Hair loss, pale and purple fingers in the toes.
  • High sensitivity to the sun.
  • Swelling around the eyes or in legs.
  • Mouth ulcers, swollen glands and fatigue.
  • Anaemia
  • Dizziness
  • Seizures and confusion.
    • Prognosis Associated With The Lupus

    IBased on the symptoms, doctors may suggest diagnostic tests to diagnose lupus. But as such there are no defined tests, which can confirm lupus. However, some of blood tests, skin biopsy and organ biopsy can be prescribed to get an idea.

    What Goes Wrong In Liver Diseases?

    In chronic liver diseases, liver is exposed to damage for very long periods of time due to which considerable liver cell loss take place. Since the liver damage is so large, the normal repairing processes of liver are insufficient to take care of the damage. Thus slowly and progressively, the function of liver is severely hampered.
    The only available treatment with chronic liver diseases is liver transplant; however the demand is more than its supply! Additionally, the procedure is expensive and it is hard to find out a suitable matched organ for the transplant. Hence, it was the need of time to find out an alternative treatment option; that is effective, cheaper and risk free.

    How Stem Cell Treatment For Liver Cirrhosis May Help!

    Stem cells are the mother cells that are responsible for developing an entire human body from a tiny two celled embryo; due to their unlimited divisions and strong power to differentiate into all the cells of different lineage. This power of stem cells has been harnessed by the technology to isolate them outside the human body, concentrate in the clean environment and infused back.
    Thus, stem cells therapy for Liver Cirrhosis involves administration of concentrated cells in the targeted area, wherein they can colonize in the damaged area, adapt the properties of resident stem cells and initiate some of the lost functions that have been compromised by the disease or injury.

    Treatment Of Liver Disease At GIOSTAR

    We have mastered the technology for isolating maximum number of viable stem cells from either the autologous sources of your own body or allogeneically with the matched donor to treat various patients with osteoarthritis. We are the licensed, private organization with the excellent, well equipped state of the art facility to isolate process and enrich the viable number of stem cells, which can be re infused back into the patient’s body. Generally, these cells are administered through any one of the below mentioned methods depending upon our expert’s advice:
    Once infused back in the body, these cells can be repopulated at the damaged parts of the liver, through their strong paracrine effects and differentiate into lost or damaged hepatocytes, create new blood vessels to improve the supply of blood or help in production of supporting cells to improve the functioning of the vascular system. Thus with our standardized, broad based and holistic approach, it is now possible to obtain noticeable improvements in the patients with the liver diseases, in the symptoms as well as their functional abilities.
