RE: BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Not in all cases, a bone marrow transplant is successful, it's risky although. Long bones 🤔 legs, vertebrae etc?
And who can donate the bone marrow? Is there is any genetic similarity needed? Although it's still beneficial a short preview regarding medical terms would make It more clear. The last question😁 Does a bone marrow transplant is only needed in case of elimination of cancerous cells?

YES!! its risky as I mentioned there is a major risk of Graft versus Host Disease(GVHD) which is a life threatening condition and I have given a hint what is GVHD.
In newborns, bone marrow is present in all the bones but as soon as we reach our adulthood it is restricted to our long bones and flat bones; bones of legs, arms, feet, vertebrae, sternum, hip bone and few others.
For BMT, donor and recipient are matched by their Human leukocyte antigen(HLA) otherwise severe antigen antibody reaction can occur. There is likely a chance that a family member can donate marrow for you but its rare to get a match donor outside of family.
BMT transplant is needed for many other disorders apart from cancerous cases as I mentioned above like Thalassemia, Immune deficiency disorder and yeah the purpose of bone marrow transplant is to give patient new blood cells and immune system, cancerous cells are killed with the help of chemotherapy and radiation.
Thanks for sharing your views☺️, I tried not to use any professional term and wherever I have used it I have given little explanation about it.
This is what I was expecting 😁 although I have invested al my efforts in reading this still, I wanted some additional knowledge from your side (might be adding chunks of my little knowledge in your evaluated work hehe)
The first time, I heard about bone marrow transplants was in an Indian drama might be I was in 6th class. I got a little knowledge that genetics is involved in it. Later more aspects were unlocked regarding this advanced stem cell therapy procedure.
Nice to see all this. 🤞🌺
Thanks for the addition of information, although I don't know what you actually added😁
But thanks again for reading and pointing out some important points🙌😊
Lol, I added the genetics point Nah 🥺🥴😂 people who are more interested in medicine will do give attention to such information posts but the one who is already running from 🧬 would only create fun Nah 😁
Keep growing 🐣
Ok oky😀😊🙌
