Safety and Efficacy of BMMNC in Patients With Chronic Renal Failure

An Open Labeled Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of of Bone Marrow Derived Mono Nuclear Stem Cell (BMMNCs) in Chronic Renal Failure Patients. It is Self Funded (Patients' Own Funding) Clinical Trial

This Study is single arm, single center trial to check the safety and efficacy of Autologous Bone Marrow derived Mono Nuclear Stem Cell (BMMNCs)for the patient with CRF

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Chronic Renal Failure
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: Intravenous transfer of Autologous (BMMNCs)

Detailed Description

Chronic kidney failure, also called chronic kidney disease, describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Kidney failure is a medical condition in which kidneys fail to filter metabolic wastes and toxins out of the body and a series of symptoms will be developed .It is common, frequently un recognised and often exists together with other conditions (for example, cardiovascular disease and diabetes). When advanced, it also carries a higher risk of mortality. The risk of developing CKD(Chronic Kidney diseases ) increases with increasing age, and some conditions that coexist with CKD become more severe as kidney dysfunction advances CKD can progress to established renal failure in a small but significant percentage of people. This classification divides CKD into five stages. Stages 3-5 may be defined by glomerular filtration rate (GFR) alone, whereas stages 1 and 2 also require the presence of persistent proteinuria, albuminuria or haematuria, or structural abnormalities.

Stem cells have two important characteristics that distinguish them from other types of cells. First, they are unspecialized cells that renew themselves for long periods through cell division. The second is that under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become cells with special function such as the beating cells of heart muscle or the insulin- producing cells of the pancreas as well as the neurons of brain.So our approach is to prove safety and efficacy of stem cell in CRF

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Maintain or demonstrate improvement in laboratory values.	• Hematological (Complete blood count (CBC) Complete blood count (CBC) urea(mg/dL), creatinine (mg/dL), plasma calcium(mg/dL), plasma alkaline phosphatase (U/L),plasma phosphorus (mg/dL), plasma cholesterol(mg/dL), plasma HDL-cholesterol (mg/dL), plasma triglyceride (mg/dL), hematocrit (%) and erythrocyte(M/_L) values were evaluated before and at the end of the study.)	3 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
pain intensity by VAS	Assessment of pain by visual analogue score	3 month
Improvement in SF36(Short form 36) score	The SF36, a short-form QoL scoring system with 36 items, is a self-administered questionnaire that was constructed to fill the gap between much more lengthy surveys and relatively coarse single-item measures of the QoL	3 month
Improvement in subjective global assessment		3 month
the incident of uremia and dialysis requirement		6 month
