With the advancement of medical
science, parents are saving their umbilical cord and placental blood after
childbirth so that any future medical necessity of the child or the close
relative can be fought effectively. More and more parents are taking an interest
in cord blood storage and increasing
the scope of treatments of many illnesses that have no other medications and
may become terminal illness otherwise.
Stem cell banking is nothing the process of collection of the
placenta or the umbilical cord blood,
processing it and depleting the red blood cells (RBC) and doing cryogenic
freezing.
Stem cures diseases like leukemia
(blood cancer), Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, solid tumors and autism and
spinal cord problems. It regenerates the cells when transplanted and gives a
new lease of life to the patient.
There is no danger to the mother
or the child to collect and preserve the cord blood as it is collected post
delivery. It prevents the mother from getting infections that are quite common
after childbirth.
Saving the cord blood gives a
feeling of satisfaction n the parents thinking of protecting the child or any
near relatives in case of some critical illness in the future with the cord
blood that has been saved. Doctors many times prescribe that only cord blood
transplantation can improve or cure the disease of the child and unless it is
stored in the banks it is not possible.
Although storing the processed
cord blood is a bit expensive, satisfaction is more than the expense and losing
a life. One does not avoid the costs for medical insurance thinking it a bad
investment if there is no need; the same rule applies I case of cord blood
preservation and banking.
Overview
Day by day banking of stem cell
is getting popular, and many couples are ignoring the expenses and doing the
same for securing the future life of their child and near relatives.
