About Stem Cell Transplant for scelroderma treatment

Scleroderma is a type of autoimmune rheumatic disease that is characterized by hardening and tightening of the skin. Diffuse systemic sclerosis is the severe form of disease that involves damage to the internal organs. There are only limited treatment options available for this condition with poor long-term benefits. Autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a safe and effective method that has shown significant improvements in quality of life of the patients with progressive systemic sclerosis. In this, first the patient’s stem cells from bone marrow are removed and the body’s immune system is destroyed using chemotherapy and radiation. Then the extracted healthy stem cells are returned to the body to rebuild the immune system and restore its normal function. Read More about Stem Cell Transplant for scelroderma treatment →
