Informed Consent

 

Since Stem cell therapy is in a Evolving phase Explicit Informed Consent will be taken from all patients. This will be particularly regarding the Fact that 100 % success cannot be guaranteed in all cases. The minor Risks of injection like local reaction in a few cases and Exacerbation of underlying disease due to Natural History even when under treatment will be explained. Also the benefits of Stem cell therapy will take at least 4 - 6 weeks to be apparent. Also all Procedures are done Under Aseptic conditions with a Bacteria and Virus free environment. At the end of the process the Stem cell solution is confirmed to be bacteria free by performing a "ENDOTOXIN TEST" The Benefit of treatment  will also depend on the stage of progress of primary disease.
