Bone marrow transplant in Iran

Types of bone marrow transplantation

In general, we have two types of marrow and bone transplants, and your doctor will determine which one is better for you.

. Autologous transplantation

Autologous transplantation {in this type of transplantation, the individual’s own stem cells are used for transplantation. They usually involve harvesting your cells before starting cell-damaging treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation. After transplanting {self} cells will be returned to your body

This type of transplant can only be used when the person himself has healthy marrow and bones. However, it does reduce the risk of some serious complications, including GVHD.

2. Allogeneic transplant

In this transplant, unlike autologous transplant, the donor’s stem cells are used. Of course, the marrow and bone donor must be one of your relatives, otherwise this transplant will not be possible, but genetic compatibility can also be found from the donor’s registry.

An allogeneic transplant is necessary if you have a condition that has damaged your bone marrow cells. However, they are at higher risk of certain complications such as GVHD. Of course, you need to take drugs that weaken your immune system, and this is because by doing this, your body will no longer attack new cells. This can make you more susceptible to disease.

Whether or not this transplant is successful depends on how close the donor’s stem cells are to your cells and how much of a match it is.

During bone marrow transplantation

Your bone marrow transplant will take place after the preparation process is complete. On the day of the transplant, stem cells are injected into your body through a central line.

This injection is completely painless and you do not need to be unconscious and you are fully awake during the transplant.

After bone marrow transplant

Once stem cells are introduced into your body by any of the above methods, they travel through your blood to your bone marrow. Over time, new cells begin to multiply healthy cells in your body. This action is called linking. It usually takes a few weeks for the number of blood cells in your body to return to normal. {Of course, this time is an average and it may take longer}

In the days and weeks after the bone marrow transplant, you will have several blood tests to know how your body is doing. You may need medication to manage side effects such as nausea and diarrhea.

After doing this operation, you are under the special supervision of doctors and it is necessary to continue this work for a long time. If you experience infection or other complications, you need to stay in the hospital for more than this period, and as it was said, all the statistics mentioned in this article are averages and increase or decrease. Depending on the type of transplant and the risk of complications, you may need to stay close to the hospital for several weeks to months to allow for close monitoring.

 Of course, you may also need to inject red blood cells and platelets into your blood until your bone marrow begins to produce enough of those cells.

You may be at increased risk for infection or other complications months to years after your transplant. You will need to see your doctor to monitor your transplant
