💉 How can autologous dendritic cell therapy improve kidney perfusion in diabetic kidney disease?

🧾 This quasi-experimental study involving 35 patients assessed renal hemodynamics and angiogenesis-related biomarkers before and four weeks after autologous dendritic cell therapy in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The results demonstrated a significant reduction in pulsatility index (PI) from 1.61 ± 0.63 to 1.21 ± 0.26 (p < 0.001), indicating improved renal perfusion. In contrast, changes in resistive index (RI), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and endothelin levels were not statistically significant, suggesting a selective effect on renal vascular dynamics.
