Stem Cell Therapy for Kidney Repair in Seoul

Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and post-injury kidney problems affect energy, fluid balance, and overall health. You may see online claims about “stem cells to repair kidneys.” At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our clinical specialty is orthopedic regenerative care (joints, tendons, ligaments, select spine). For kidney repair, cell therapy is investigational and not a routine service. We provide safe, hospital-based guidance and coordinate with nephrology partners for evidence-based kidney care.


Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “IV stem cell drips” or non-standard renal injections. Any cell-based option must occur within approved clinical protocols led by nephrology.

Who This Is For

  • Adults with diagnosed CKD or post-AKI recovery who want coordinated, guideline-first care
  • Patients whose joint/back pain limits activity—making BP, weight, and glucose control harder
  • International visitors seeking safe, hospital-coordinated planning while in Seoul

What We Do (Nanoori-Led, Case-By-Case)

  • Orthopedic optimization to reduce pain that blocks walking/strength work (key for BP, weight, and insulin sensitivity)
  • Nephrology coordination for staging, labs, BP and RAAS strategy, anemia/mineral bone disease management, and dialysis/transplant pathways when indicated
  • Function-first program: graded walk plan, low-impact strength, posture/hip-spine mechanics, pacing
  • Medication & lifestyle supports (non-cell): NSAID avoidance education, sleep routine, hydration guidance individualized by nephrology, sodium control basics
  • Clinical-trial navigation: if appropriate, help you discuss research pathways with nephrology teams (we don’t run kidney trials ourselves)

What We Do Not Offer

  • No “stem cell cures” for CKD/AKI
  • No unregulated IV infusions or non-standard kidney injections
  • No replacement for nephrology-guided care (BP/glucose control, ACEi/ARB/SGLT2 where appropriate, anemia and mineral management)

Your Coordinated Care Pathway

  1. Screening & Baseline – Kidney history, stage, labs (creatinine/eGFR, electrolytes, urine ACR), BP log; pain/mobility map.
  2. Nephrology Alignment – Med review, diet and fluid plan, vaccination updates, progression-slowing strategies; discuss research only via nephrology.
  3. Ortho & Rehab Plan – Address pain generators; start graded walking and strength to support BP/weight/glucose control.
  4. Follow-Up & Prevention – Activity targets, joint-safe exercise menu, travel-safe instructions; share progress with your nephrologist.

Expected Timeline (Typical)

  • Weeks 1–4: Less pain → more consistent walking; better sleep and energy pacing
  • Weeks 4–12: Strength and endurance rise; steadier BP/weight routines alongside nephrology plan
  • Months 3–6: More durable function and adherence to kidney-protective habits
    Outcomes depend on CKD stage, blood pressure/glucose control, and musculoskeletal factors.

Safety & Considerations

  • Hospital standards with doctor-supervised workflows
  • Orthopedic procedures may cause temporary soreness/bruising at harvest/injection sites
  • Red flags (rapid weight gain/swelling, shortness of breath, chest pain, reduced urine, high potassium symptoms) require urgent nephrology/ER care
  • Medication timing and fluid/sodium plans are coordinated with nephrology before any procedures

FAQ

Can stem cells regenerate my kidneys now?
No established clinical cure exists. Proven pillars remain BP/glucose control, RAAS/SGLT2 where appropriate, diet, and risk reduction—plus pain reduction so you can stay active. Cell-based renal therapy is research-only.

Do you do IV stem cells for CKD?
No. We do not perform unregulated systemic infusions. Any cell-based option must be part of approved trials under nephrology.

Can I start during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. We can align nephrology care, begin your pain/rehab plan, and provide a travel-friendly follow-up roadmap.
