  5. What are the types of Bone Marrow Transplants? Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant: • As the name suggests “AUTO” means “SELF”. • Lower risk of infection • Graft rejection is very rare as the donor and the recipient are the same person. • This process is common for diseases like lymphoma.

  6. Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant: • In this process the bone marrow is received from a donor. • HLA of the donor must be matched with HLA of the recipient. • Donor may be sister, brother, parents or other relatives. • There is a chance of rejection.

  7. Umblical Cord / Cord Blood Transplant • The immature Marrow Cells recovered from the Umblical Cord of the new born baby after birth is stored. • Cryopreserved Bone Marrow until they are needed for transplant. • This is highly beneficial as chances of mismatch are seldom.

  8. Factors to Choose Transplant Type • Type of disease being treated • The extent of bone marrow damage • Age and health of the patient

  9. Donor stem cells can be collected in two ways: Bone marrow harvest: • Minor surgery is done • The bone marrow is removed from the back of both hip bones. • The amount of marrow removed depends on the weight of the person who is receiving it. Leukapheresis • Blood is removed from the donor through an IV line. • The part of white blood cells that contains stem cells is then separated in a machine and removed to be later given to the recipient.
