Stem cell treatment for liver cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis is a serious complication of many liver diseases, characterized by disruption of liver architecture and functions. Diseases leading to liver cirrhosis cause the death of liver cells (hepatocytes), resulting in inflammation and initiation of repair processes - excessive growth of fibrous (scar) tissue. In an attempt to replace the missing (dead) cells, the remaining undamaged liver cells multiply and form clusters of new cells (regenerative nodules) within the scar tissue.
As the number of nodules grows, the liver gradually loses its functional capacity, which means its ability to fight infections, remove bacteria and toxins from the blood (detoxification), process nutrients, hormones and drugs, produce proteins that promote blood clotting regulate, and produce bile to aid in the absorption of fats, including cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins, is affected. This allows harmful substances and toxins to be transported via the bloodstream to every system of organs and tissues.
The most dangerous is the toxic effect on the central and peripheral nervous systems. Cirrhosis changes the person both physically and psychologically, and sometimes it is difficult to work and live with these people.

How does our stem cell treatment for liver cirrhosis work?
All of our stem cell treatments in Istanbul are assessed and administered by specialists who specialise in the relevant field and have been trained in both the United States and Turkey, and not solely by general practitioners. We do this to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for you. We are 100% clear and honest with you.
Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments. Many patients are turned away after our specialist assesses their current health status and medical history and determines that the treatment is not appropriate. We do this to avoid false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason and to ensure patient safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before you can plan your treatment.

Frequently asked questions about stem cell treatment
How does this differ from conventional treatment?
Stem cell therapy focuses on potential biological effects of cells and their signalling molecules. This does not automatically make it a replacement for established care. Discuss the evidence for the specific protocol alongside conventional options, and change medication or rehabilitation only with your treating doctor.
What types of stem cells are used to treat liver cirrhosis, and why are they suitable for this condition?
Mesenchymal stem cells are often used for their ability to differentiate into liver cells and their anti-inflammatory properties, which is beneficial in liver cirrhosis.
What is the process of stem cell transplantation for liver cirrhosis? What can patients expect during treatment?
Stem cell transplantation involves injecting stem cells into damaged liver tissue. During treatment, patients may experience some discomfort, but this is usually short-lived.
How much does treatment cost, and what is included?
Costs depend on your assessment and the proposed treatment plan. Request an itemised quotation before making a decision.
Before booking, request a written quotation covering treatment, tests, transport and follow-up. Confirm whether travel, accommodation, extra sessions and additional care are included. Insurance reimbursement is not automatic; check this with your insurer in advance.
