Procedure

 

In present Clinical practice Adult Stem cell therapy is given in 2 ways : All procedures are done under aseptic conditions and the Lab follows GMP practices .

1. BONE MARROW DERIVED STEM CELLTHERAPY : The Bone marrow is a RICH source of stem cells. In this procedure Patient is admitted to Hospital in the morning. Blood is drawn for routine tests. After Light breakfast he is taken in the procedure Room for Bone marrow Aspiration. Here a Specialist performs a small aspiration of Bone marrow from the Hip Area, under Local anaesthesia. The process takes about 15 minutes and is practically painless. The Aspirate (50 ml) is sent to the STEM CELL LAB. The purification process for the Stem cells takes about 3 hours after the purified Stem cell Solution is returned to the Ward. The stem cell solution is confirmed Bacteria free by means of a "endotoxin" test. The same day Evening the Stem cells are injected either into the Heart blood vessels, Spinal fluid or Liver blood vessel or Peripheral vein. Patient is discharged the next day.

2. PERIPHERAL STEM CELL THERAPY : Technology is now available for separating Stem cells from the Blood itself. But the Concentration of cells will be less than the bone marrow. Here 100-150 ml of blood is taken. The stem cell separation takes 1 week. After 1 week the cells are Injected as described above.
