    Umbilical cord blood also has more hematopoietic stem cells, which can be used for some blood diseases. Such as white blood cells (blood cancer), hematopoietic disorders, etc. We know that bone marrow transplantation is actually the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, and it is difficult to match successfully.

    However, if the cord blood is stored, it can be used for personal use, and the success rate of matching with relatives is very high, or it can also be donated. Wish.

    Because clinical medicine has proved that the hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood can play a positive role in the clinical practice of many diseases, and umbilical cord blood can not only be used by itself, but also can be used by other family members, the rejection is relatively low, and the success rate of transplantation is relatively high.

    Umbilical cord blood storage is to prevent children from encountering some major blood diseases in the future, such as leukemia, etc., umbilical cord blood can play an important role, and the hematopoietic stem cells in it can restore the child's health, so many people store umbilical cord blood.

    In general, it makes sense to preserve cord blood when the financial situation allows.

    Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord cleavage and placenta after birth, because the umbilical cord blood has hematopoietic stem cells that rebuild the body's immune system and hematopoietic function, it can help the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, and can be used for leukemia, thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome and other major diseases. Previously, bone marrow transplantation was used for ** leukemia, but there were difficulties in matching, rejection reactions, etc. Because umbilical cord blood contains a large number of hematopoietic stem cells and is collected from the umbilical cord, it can be obtained without surgery, and the success rate of umbilical cord blood transplantation is higher than that of bone marrow transplantation.

    However, the cost of preserving umbilical cord blood is high, so it is recommended that you consider saving umbilical cord blood if your family is in good financial condition, and if you don't want to save your umbilical cord blood, you can donate it to help more people.

    Umbilical cord blood is a valuable biological resource, and the hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood can be used for a variety of hematologic diseases and immune system diseases, such as leukemia, lymphoma, etc., even if it is a non-blood disease, such as diabetes, rheumatism, cerebral palsy, etc., can also be applied to umbilical cord blood. Previously, it has been clinically confirmed that umbilical cord blood also has great potential for certain congenital genetic diseases. At present, in China, umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology is mainly used in 11 major diseases including leukemia, aplastic anemia, thalassemia, lymphoma, etc., and its clinical application prospects are broad.

    Second, it is necessary to clarify whether there is a need for families to bank cord blood. For example, if the first child has a disease and needs to be carried out through umbilical cord blood, then it is more necessary to store the umbilical cord blood of the second baby at this time. In addition, if there is a history of genetic disease in the family and there has been a use of cord blood matching, cord blood banking may be considered.

    In addition to the above two cases, for healthy individuals, the choice of whether to bank cord blood or not can also be based on the individual's needs and financial situation. With the continuous improvement of people's health concept and the higher awareness of the role of umbilical cord blood, more and more newborn families choose to actively store umbilical cord blood. At present, China has also approved the establishment of a number of professional cord blood banks, and interested families can consult authoritative institutions.

    For cord blood, many parents are struggling with whether or not to save cord blood. What does umbilical cord blood do when it is preserved? Let's take a look at the role of cord blood preservation.

    1.First of all, umbilical cord blood contains a large number of stem cells that can be used for hematopoiesis, so it has a non-negligible role in the body's blood regeneration and enhancing our immune function. When encountering a variety of dangerous major diseases, umbilical cord blood can play its role in these diseases.

    2.The role of umbilical cord blood is not only limited to saving oneself, because the use rate of umbilical cord blood among blood relatives has also reached 25%-50%, that is, if relatives who are related to themselves suffer from blood diseases such as blood system, their umbilical cord blood may be able to provide blood for their relatives and increase the probability of blood supply to relatives.

    3.The preservation of umbilical cord blood is first and foremost to protect the health of your child, and at the same time, you can also choose to donate your child's cord blood to relevant institutions to help other patients who need hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

    Cord blood banking has a role. Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after the umbilical cord is ligated and cut after the baby is born, which is called umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood belongs to the third largest hematopoietic cell** because umbilical cord blood contains a large number of stem cells, which are the seeds of life and can differentiate various cells of the human body such as:

    Blood cells, nerve cells, bone cells, etc.

    Stem cells can play an important role in tissue repair, can reorganize the body's hematopoietic system and immune system, and are used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for diseases of the blood system and immune system. If your baby grows up with various diseases, you can use umbilical cord blood to do it**.

    As the name suggests, umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after the umbilical cord is ligated and severed after the fetus is delivered. It's a kind of waste utilization. In recent decades, cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells that can rebuild the body's hematopoietic and immune systems.

    It can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. So many people see umbilical cord blood as a life-saving blood.

    Let's take a look at the cost of storing umbilical cord blood, generally speaking, the cost of collection is about 5,800 yuan, and the cost of the hospital to help you keep it is 800 yuan a year, and the first time to save it must be signed for 20 years. This is only an estimate, and it varies by region**. Even if you don't consider the question of **, is it really useful to preserve umbilical cord blood?

    At this point, everything seems so logical. However, the preservation of cord blood is a big problem. If it is a cord blood bank, as long as the matching is successful, the blood can be used.

    However, this is not necessarily the case with autologous cord blood, as it may be stored for a long time. Based on current research, the value of long-term cord blood preservation has not been very definitively verified. Maybe you have kept the blood for more than ten years, although the matching is fine, but by that time, the blood may no longer be usable.

    According to the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation, there is only a chance that a child will be able to use his or her own cord blood. Moreover, most of the serious diseases of children are genetic problems, which means that to a large extent, there is a problem with the stem cells in their umbilical cord blood.

    Umbilical cord blood preservation is used to transplant** patients for diseases such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, and lupus erythematosus. The umbilical cord blood has not been exposed to any radiation and has not been affected by radiation, drugs or poisons. The multiplication rate of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells is much stronger than that in the bone marrow, and the probability of matching exactly the same between non-relatives is very low, so the umbilical cord blood should be put into a public cord blood bank for collective storage, which can improve the utilization rate.

    **Diseases of the blood system, immune system.

    The special value of umbilical cord blood is that it contains hematopoietic stem cells that can rebuild the human hematopoietic and immune system, which is of great significance to the occurrence of leukemia, other blood diseases, and diseases of the immune system, so the storage of umbilical cord blood is very large.

    Umbilical cord blood refers to the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after the fetus is delivered and the umbilical cord is broken. There are a large number of hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood, which are the seeds of blood cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are formed by the differentiation of umbilical cord blood, and the regeneration of hematopoiesis is particularly fast. Umbilical cord blood stem cells can be used for a variety of diseases, such as acute and chronic lymphocytic leukemia and congenital immunodeficiency diseases.

    The purpose of storing umbilical cord blood is mainly to use hematopoietic stem cells with strong reproductive ability to transplant patients, such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, lymphoma, lupus erythematosus and other diseases. Umbilical cord blood also has the functions of organ cloning, repairing aging tissues and organs, resisting human aging, and may also have a certain effect on cancer and neurospinal cord injury. If a family member has a disease of the blood system, immune system, etc., there is a higher chance of finding a cord blood donor.

    The role of umbilical cord blood is still relatively large, but not everyone can use it after storing umbilical cord blood, because most of the diseases of umbilical cord blood are various blood system diseases, and most of them are malignant diseases, such as common leukemia or aplastic anemia.

    In addition, the cost of storing umbilical cord blood is relatively expensive, so for families whose economic conditions are not particularly good, they may not choose to store umbilical cord blood, and for families with better economic conditions and want to give their babies more protection, they can consider storing cord blood to avoid accidents.

    Therefore, not every woman will specifically store her cord blood after childbirth, but it needs to be decided according to her own economic conditions and specific needs.

    Umbilical cord blood refers to the preservation of blood from the umbilical cord and placenta by drawing blood from the umbilical cord and placenta during childbirth, because it contains a large number of stem cells, which has great benefits for future diseases. At present, in clinical work, umbilical cord blood has been used for some leukemias, or diseases where hematopoietic stem cells are problematic.

    For umbilical cord blood, it is generally recommended that families with conditions should still be preserved, although the cost is about 230,000 yuan, but it has a certain guarantee for future life. If the family conditions are limited, you can choose to donate umbilical cord blood, which means that you can not only use it yourself, but also use it if others need it, which can improve the clinical application value of umbilical cord blood.

    Umbilical cord blood was never valued for a long time, but in recent years, umbilical cord blood has suddenly become a hot mess. Everyone has heard that umbilical cord blood will have a life-saving effect on their own children in the future. As a result, many parents choose to keep their child's cord blood for their child after birth.

    But does cord blood really have that much effect? Is it necessary to save cord blood?

    The annual cost of saving umbilical cord blood is an expensive amount, but because of the sentence "your own umbilical cord blood will never fail to match, saving your own umbilical cord blood is to protect your future health" makes many parents willing to spend a lot of money to preserve umbilical cord blood. But most of the requests to parents to preserve cord blood are propaganda from commercial organizations that exploit the fragile and great feelings of the parents before the child is born.

    The amount of cord blood is very limited, and if it is used to treat children, such a small amount of blood can only meet the blood needs of childhood, which means that parents spend a lot of money to save umbilical cord blood can be useful for children when they are young. And another point is that if blood is needed for the disease of the inheritance, then umbilical cord blood should not be used at this time. Because cord blood can also carry genes for legacy diseases.

    Therefore, I believe that everyone should have an answer to the question of whether it is necessary to preserve umbilical cord blood in combination with their own reality. If possible, you can choose to save your cord blood, but don't put your hopes for it.
