Treatment for cirrhosis depends on the cause and extent of your liver damage. The goals of treatment are to slow the progression of scar tissue in the liver and to prevent or treat symptoms and complications of cirrhosis. You may need to be hospitalized if you have severe liver damage. In early cirrhosis, it may be possible to minimize damage to the liver by treating the underlying cause. The options include: Other medications can relieve certain symptoms, such as itching, fatigue and pain. Nutritional supplements may be prescribed to counter malnutrition associated with cirrhosis and to prevent osteoporosis (weak bones). Your doctor will work to treat any complications of cirrhosis, including: Portal hypertension. Blood pressure medications may control increased pressure in the veins that supply the liver (portal hypertension) and prevent severe bleeding. Your doctor will perform an upper endoscopy at regular intervals to look for enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach (varices) that may bleed. If you develop varices, you likely will need medication to reduce the risk of bleeding. If you are not able to tolerate medication and have signs that the varices are bleeding or are likely to bleed, you may need a procedure (band ligation) … Continue reading →

Regenerative Medical Group (RMG)provides the opportunity for every appropriate patient to benefit from stem cells. Many innovative procedures at RMG continue to increase in popularity. This is because at RMG we focus on patient satisfaction and optimal outcomes. Our therapies are individualized. Since we have hundreds of patient with successful results we have been able to identify patterns of where stem cells make NEW cells. This is one of our advantages in helping you! We use the most optimal stem cells for each patient. Usually we strive for pluri-potential cells because these stem cells can differentiate into whatever your body needs. We strive to create the most powerful stem solution as well. Most powerful means we determine not only the number of stem cells but also the percent that are alive and the percent purity for each type of stem cell. Notice the diagram and realize we have the ability to create the best solution for you. Your own adult stem cells or tissue-specific stem cells harvest from: There are three types of adult stem cells in the human body. The first type of stem cell turns into blood components, with a second destined to become lining of the endometrium. … Continue reading →

Early diagnosis and treatment helps young children with autism develop to their full potential. The primary goal of treatment is to improve the overall ability of the child to function. Symptoms and behaviors of autism can combine in many ways and vary in severity. Also, individual symptoms and behaviors often change over time.
