The LLR government hospital in Kanpur has become the first hospital in the country to perform the first fat-derived stem cell transplant. This has come as good news for all the patients with type 2 diabetes who have to take insulin frequently.
In this method, stem cells are extracted from waist and abdominal fat and injected into the patient's muscles and blood cells. This will help the patient's pancreas (beta cells) to release normal amount of insulin.
The 50-year-old male recipient of this first adipose-derived stem cell transplant in the country has been suffering from type 2 diabetes for the past five years.
According to doctors, the cost of this transplant so far is Rs 2.5 lakh and in the near future the cost is expected to come down and the treatment will be cheaper for many people suffering from type 2 diabetes.
The stem cell approach will continue to offer a new ray of hope to patients and their families.
This operation is called fat-derived step transfer which takes place after removing the fatty tissue from the patient himself and then processing it with patented technology from Australia. So, the cost of the machine is Rs 1 crore and operation cost is Rs 2,52,000, said Dr Sanjay Kala, Principal of GSVM Medical College, Kanpur.
So far, we have only read about the response to stem cell transplant in diabetic patients in books. But this has been done for the first time in the country. Insulin and other supplements prove to be expensive in the long term. With this, we can give a pill or dose of stem cell therapy and a patient with diabetes can be cured, added Dr Sanjay Kala.
