FAQs
What is a bone marrow test?
This is a quick (about 15 minutes) and simple procedure which can be carried out in the outpatient clinic to help with diagnosis of certain blood disorders, and sometimes other disorders. Local anaesthetic is given to numb an area of skin usually over the pelvis (just above the buttock) and a needle is used to take a small sample of bone marrow. The procedure usually only takes about 15 minutes and the results are usually available in about three days to ten days, sooner for some tests.
When is bone marrow transplant done?
Bone marrow transplant can be autologous (patient receives his own stem cells) or allogenic (patent receives stem cells from a donor). Autologous transplant is mostly done for multiple Myeloma and Lymphomas. Allogenic transplant is done for leukemias, bone marrow failure disorders, Thalassemia and primary immunodeficiency etc.
