How Stem Cells May Help with Kidney, Liver, and Lung Function

Chronic organ conditions can impact energy, immunity, and quality of life. Today, many patients are exploring stem cell therapy as a regenerative option to support kidney, liver, and lung function—especially when traditional treatments no longer offer relief. Backed by emerging science and practiced safely at CRC Tijuana, this therapy is a promising addition to the future of organ health.

What Does Stem Cell Therapy Do for Organ Health?

Stem cells—especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—have shown potential to regulate inflammation, promote tissue repair, and support immune balance. When introduced into the body via IV infusion or other targeted methods, they may:

• Reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress
• Stimulate repair and regeneration of damaged tissues
• Modulate the immune system in autoimmune-related damage
• Support endothelial repair and improve blood flow

This form of regenerative medicine does not replace organ transplants or medications in advanced conditions—but it may complement standard care for earlier-stage disease or for patients seeking alternatives with fewer side effects.

Stem Cells and Kidney Function

The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste, regulating fluid and electrolyte balance, and producing hormones like erythropoietin. Chronic kidney disease (CKD), whether due to diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disease, causes progressive loss of these functions. MSC therapy may help by:

• Reducing inflammatory cytokines that damage glomeruli
• Improving tissue oxygenation and vascular regeneration
• Decreasing creatinine and proteinuria levels over time

At CRC, we monitor kidney function closely through lab tests before and after treatment. Learn more about our approach to Kidney Stem Cell Therapy »

Stem Cells and Liver Regeneration

Liver damage from fatty liver disease, alcohol use, viral hepatitis, or autoimmune disorders can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis. The liver does regenerate—but only to a point. Stem cell therapy may support this process by:

• Suppressing fibrotic progression and reducing collagen deposition
• Stimulating hepatocyte regeneration through paracrine signaling
• Improving metabolic detoxification and enzyme levels (ALT, AST)

Patients often report better digestion, reduced bloating, and improved lab values post-therapy. Learn more about our Liver Stem Cell Programs »

Stem Cell Therapy for Lung Inflammation

Whether from asthma, COPD, fibrosis, or post-viral complications, lung inflammation can severely limit mobility, energy, and independence. MSCs have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects that may:

• Reduce lung scarring and restore alveolar function
• Improve oxygen uptake and breathing capacity
• Decrease coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness

CRC offers IV and nebulized delivery routes for lung-specific therapy. For viral-related damage, see our Long COVID Stem Cell Therapy »

Systemic Benefits Beyond Organ Repair

Since organs interact closely with immune, metabolic, and hormonal systems, patients undergoing regenerative therapy often report improvements beyond the target condition. These may include:

• Stabilized blood sugar and improved insulin sensitivity
• Better cholesterol and triglyceride profiles
• Reduced systemic inflammation and brain fog

For patients with overlapping conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, liver dysfunction, or autoimmune markers, a multidisciplinary protocol is developed by our CRC care team.

Who Might Be a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for organ-focused stem cell therapy:

• Have stable or moderate-stage chronic organ conditions
• Are not currently undergoing immunosuppressive chemotherapy
• Do not have active infections or uncontrolled blood pressure
• Are seeking integrative and preventive approaches to avoid surgery or dialysis

We perform extensive pre-evaluation to confirm candidacy. Learn more: Am I a Candidate? »

Lab Testing & Monitoring at CRC

Every therapy at CRC is backed by diagnostics from our in-house laboratory, including:

• Kidney, liver, and lung function markers
• Inflammation levels (CRP, cytokines, TNF-alpha)
• Immune panel, oxidative stress levels, and micronutrients

This allows us to tailor the cellular therapy protocol, monitor progress, and guide supportive care (e.g., supplements, detox, nutrition).

What to Expect from Your Treatment

Each patient journey is personalized, but a typical process includes:

1. Initial consultation – virtual or in-person review of labs and symptoms
2. Comprehensive diagnostics – blood work and imaging if needed
3. Stem cell infusion – IV or targeted delivery (lungs: nebulized; liver: portal vein if indicated)
4. Post-care – recovery instructions, supplements, and follow-up labs

Most patients resume daily activities within 24–48 hours.

Timeline and Expected Results

• Subtle improvements often begin within 2–4 weeks
• Peak effect typically observed at 3–6 months post-infusion
• Repeat or booster treatments may be advised every 6–12 months depending on severity

Many report increased energy, mental clarity, stable blood markers, and greater resilience against fatigue, flares, or infections.
