Condition
Chronic Kidney Disease
Predominantly at the research stage.
Quick summary
- • No evidence it can replace standard care
- • Early-phase trials exist in some countries
Overview
Chronic kidney disease progresses in complex ways; cell-therapy research focuses on slowing fibrosis.
Mechanisms studied
Anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects studied in models.
Human research
Early-phase human safety studies exist.
Safety
Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.
Evidence limitations
Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
