As people's concepts become increasingly advanced and their quality improves, their understanding of umbilical cord blood is becoming more objective and profound. Many families store umbilical cord blood for their babies, knowing that it can be very helpful in case of emergencies in the future. So what's the use of keeping umbilical cord blood?
1. Containing stem cells: Rich hematopoietic stem cells are contained in umbilical cord blood, which can be used to treat various diseases when necessary, and umbilical cord blood has no side effects on the human body.
2. High safety factor: Umbilical cord blood is relatively pure, and the viruses carried in umbilical cord blood are much less than those in bone marrow, so umbilical cord blood is relatively safe.
3. Long storage time: Due to the increasingly advanced modern science and technology, the storage time of umbilical cord blood is also getting longer, and it can still be used to serve the medical industry after a few years.
4. High survival rate of transplantation: The rejection reaction caused by stem cell transplantation surgery is relatively small, so the survival rate is higher than that of bone marrow transplantation.
5. Ready to use: Umbilical cord blood can be used at any time from collection to refrigeration, so that it can be used in a timely manner and patients can receive timely treatment. Therefore, the collection and use of umbilical cord blood is relatively convenient and fast.
