Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Regeneration in Seoul
Nanoori Stem Cell Center, Gangnam
Chronic liver conditions—fatty liver disease, fibrosis, cirrhosis—affect energy, metabolism, and recovery from everyday activity. You may see online claims about “stem cells to regenerate the liver.” At Nanoori Stem Cell Center, our clinical specialty is orthopedic regenerative care (joints, tendons, ligaments, selected spine). For liver regeneration, cell therapy is investigational and not a routine service. We provide safe, hospital-based guidance and coordinate with hepatology partners for evidence-based liver care.
Straight talk: We do not offer unregulated “IV stem cell drips” or non-standard liver injections. Any cell-based option must occur within approved clinical protocols led by hepatology.
Who This Is For
- Adults with NAFLD/MASLD, NASH, chronic hepatitis, or compensated cirrhosis seeking coordinated, guideline-first care
- Patients whose knee/hip/back pain limits walking and weight control—key to liver health
- International visitors wanting 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 (supports weight, insulin sensitivity, and stamina)
- Hepatology coordination for staging (labs, elastography), antiviral/etiology treatment, metabolic management, surveillance (HCC/varices), and nutrition guidance
- Function-first program: graded walking plan, low-impact strength, posture/hip-spine mechanics, pacing and sleep routines
- Lifestyle supports (non-cell): weight strategy, alcohol moderation counseling, medication review (avoidances that strain the liver)
- Clinical-trial navigation: if appropriate, help you discuss research pathways with hepatology teams (we don’t run liver trials ourselves)
What We Do Not Offer
- No “stem cell cures” for fatty liver, fibrosis, or cirrhosis
- No unregulated IV infusions or non-standard intrahepatic injections
- No replacement for hepatology-guided care (etiology treatment, weight program, diabetes/BP/lipids control, surveillance)
Your Coordinated Care Pathway
- Screening & Baseline – Liver history, meds, recent labs (AST/ALT, platelets, bilirubin, INR), elastography/FibroScan if available; pain/mobility map.
- Hepatology Alignment – Etiology workup and therapy; metabolic plan; vaccination updates; surveillance schedule.
- Ortho & Rehab Plan – Address pain generators; start graded walking and strength to support weight and metabolic goals.
- Follow-Up & Prevention – Activity targets, sleep and nutrition cues, travel-safe instructions; share progress with your hepatologist.
Expected Timeline (Typical)
- Weeks 1–4: Less pain → more consistent walking; steadier sleep and energy
- Weeks 4–12: Strength and endurance rise; better adherence to nutrition/activity goals
- Months 3–6: More durable function with improved daily movement habits alongside hepatology care
Outcomes depend on disease stage, weight/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 (jaundice, abdominal swelling, confusion, vomiting blood, black stools, fever) require urgent hepatology/ER care
- Medication timing and any anticoagulation are coordinated with hepatology before procedures
FAQ
Can stem cells regenerate my liver now?
No established clinical cure exists. Proven pillars are
etiology treatment,
weight & metabolic control,
alcohol moderation/abstinence, and
surveillance—plus pain reduction so you can stay active. Cell-based liver therapy is
research-only.
Do you do IV stem cells for liver disease?
No. Any cell-based option must be part of
approved trials under hepatology.
Can I start during a short visit to Seoul?
Yes. We can align hepatology care, begin your pain/rehab plan, and provide a
travel-friendly roadmap for home follow-up.
