Why is esr raised in multiple myeloma?

Female | 30

The disease process of multiple myeloma has several factors that cause elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate ESR. First of all, abnormal proteins produced by myeloma cells or rather immunoglobulins and their components may cause the increase in blood viscosity which leads to an increased ESR. Myeloma cells can cause inflammation and increase the secretion of some proteins that influence sedimentation rate. The effect of the disease on marrow function, and in particular its overproduction with plasma cells may also impact ESR levels. Elevated levels of the ESR are quite general in pricing an infection and can act as a predictor to determine how much myeloma-related irregularities is presently affecting one’s body. Monitoring of ESR regularly with other clinical parameters helps to evaluate disease progression and the patient’s response to treatment in multiple myeloma.

What symptoms would indicate that the treatment might not be successful?

Male | 59

If the treatment doesn't seem to be working, some diagnostics to keep an eye out for are if your symptoms don't improve or actually get worse, if new symptoms emerge that weren't present earlier, or if you experience side effects from the treatment. These things could be the indications that the specific therapy is not your cup of tea. In such cases, it's crucial to the doctor to discuss other alternative solutions that may suit you better.

Can stem cell cure high blood pressure?

Male | 48

So far stem cell therapy is not an established cure for high blood pressure. The evidence seems to suggest that stem cells may potentially have applications in the area of cardiovascular health and yet, the precise mechanisms involved as well as how effective it is could be used when treating hypertension are not fully understood. Current high blood pressure treatments are mainly through lifestyle changes and drugs to control the condition. It is important to discuss this matter with medical specialists in order to look at more verified and proven methods of regulating blood pressure, as the use of stem cells for managing it is not very advanced yet.

Can fetal stem cells be harvested without destroying the embroy?

Male | 69

Yes so the process of extracting fetal stem cells from the embryo can destruct the embryo. This is because the cells are usually obtained from the inner cell mass of the embryo, which is a stage of development where the embryo is destroyed in the process. Alternative sources of stem cells, such as adult stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have been developed to overcome some of the ethical concerns associated with using fetal stem cells.
