Preserve Valuable Stem Cells with Umbilical Cord Blood Banking

A baby's umbilical cord blood is a rich source of stem cells. Stem cells are the source of red and white blood cells that carry oxygen, iron, and fight infection. In healthy people, stem cells in bone marrow constantly replenish the blood and immune system cells. However, if the blood system has been adversely affected by disease or by medical treatments, new healthy stem cells are necessary to rebuild the body's blood and immune systems. One way to do this is to transplant another person's bone marrow. This process can be problematic. This is why umbilical cord blood banking is so important.

Umbilical Cord Blood Banking For the Future

Another way to get healthy stem cells into the body is to transplant cord blood that was collected at birth and preserved with an umbilical cord blood banking service. For years, doctors have used cord blood as an alternative to bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of leukemia, other cancers, and other disease and health problems. Without umbilical cord blood banking, many of these treatments would be much more difficult.

Insurance for the Family: Umbilical Cord Blood Banking

If you preserve your baby's cord blood with an umbilical cord blood banking service like CorCell, doctors may be able to use those stem cells to help fight diseases in the donor, as well as siblings and parents.

This is a significant increase in the survival rate for recipients from unrelated donors. Again, you see how important umbilical cord blood banking can be. As doctors learn more, they may be able to take even more advantage of cord blood kept with umbilical cord blood banking services.
