Amniotic stem cells tested for rare, painful skin condition in kidney patients
NCT ID NCT04592640
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether stem cells from human amniotic fluid can help heal painful skin wounds (calciphylaxis) in people with chronic kidney disease. Nine participants will receive the stem cell treatment, and researchers will measure wound healing and pain levels. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for controlling this serious condition.
