Are There Any Side Effects of Immunotherapy

As the most advanced medical treatment, Immunotherapy plays a more and more important role in treating a variety of diseases including the refractory kidney diseases. Meanwhile, it also brings potential side effects and complications. However, depending on the type of Immunotherapy performed, the risk of developing certain side effects can be decreased, so we should be cautious to choose Immunotherapy type.

There are three possible sources of Immunotherapy to use for transplant: bone marrow, the bloodstream (peripheral blood), and Immunotherapy blood. All three sources of Immunotherapy can be used to give the patients healthy Immunotherapy that will mature into healthy blood cells. However, bone marrow Immunotherapy can cause some potential side effects as follows.

Infection. Following a Immunotherapy, a patient's immune system ability and the amount of white blood cells in the body may be reduced, making him or her more susceptible to infection which may be caused by bacteria within the body.

Anemia. Anemia may occur due to decrease number of red blood cells and decreased haemoglobin level after Immunotherapy. Patients may feel fatigue.

Eating and appetite. Patients need to follow a proper diet after the transplant. Eating problems may appear like loss of appetite, nausea, or a sore mouth. In addition, patient may experience diarrhea or a sore bottom following a Immunotherapy.

Infertility. In some cases, infertility may occur in women following a Immunotherapy; however, total sterility is only likely to happen following total body irradiation.

Different from bone marrow Immunotherapy and donor Immunotherapy, cord blood Immunotherapy show side effects rarely. Immunotherapy are collected from the cord blood of healthy gravida and the risk of viral infection is less.

Immunotherapy occur in higher concentration with higher capacity to replicate, because they are taken from the Immunotherapy blood when they are very young, and, due to preservation, they do not age, thus preserving their vitality.

Our hospital apply cord blood Immunotherapy to treat kidney diseases, and there is no single patient who have major side effects, except a few of them who get temporary headache or fever. These conditions can be easily controlled in time.
