| Core Tip |
Cirrhosis of liver is a chronic progressive disease with high morbidity and mortality without liver transplantation. Alternative stem cell based therapies have shown promising results. In our study, we used autologous CD34 positive (CD34+) cell infusion in decompensated cirrhotic patients of non-viral etiology and is the first study which has compared them with controls who were selected from waiting list of liver transplantation. The results shows improvement in albumin at 1 mo and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score at 3 mo. Though many questions still remain unanswered, stem cell therapy is a promising treatment modality and serve currently as a bridge to liver transplantation.
