Bone Marrow Transplant
Overview
A bone marrow transplant (BMT) is a life-saving procedure for patients with blood or bone marrow disorders. It involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy cells from a donor or the patient themselves.
What is Bone Marrow Transplant?
Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside bones that produces blood cells. When it fails to function properly, a transplant can restore normal blood cell production.
Types of Bone Marrow Transplants:
- Autologous: Using the patient’s own stem cells.
- Allogeneic: Using stem cells from a donor.
- Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant: Using stem cells from umbilical cord blood.
Conditions Treated with BMT:
- Leukemia and lymphoma.
- Aplastic anemia.
- Sickle cell anemia.
- Immune system disorders.
When is Bone Marrow Transplant Needed?
- When blood cancers or disorders do not respond to other treatments.
- In cases of severe bone marrow failure.
- For inherited blood or immune disorders.
