Condition

Chronic Kidney Disease

Predominantly at the research stage.

Level D· Preclinical Evidence

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.
