Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure

A bone marrow transplant depends on the following conditions such as a patient's ability to tolerate certain medications, the type of transplant and the disease that requires a transplant. The procedure 

includes the following -
The preparation of a bone marrow transplant involves high doses of radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. This is required for treating a specific disease and also to create a sufficient room in the bone marrow for the new cells to develop. Myeloablative or ablative is the name given to this therapy due to its effect on the bone marrow. Majority of blood cells in the body are produced by the bone marrow. The marrow becomes empty when the ablative or Myeloablative therapy stops the cell production. The new stem cells require an empty marrow so that they can grow and simultaneously establish themselves as new blood cell production system.
The marrow transplant is given from the central venous catheter in the bloodstream after administering radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy. This process is not considered as a surgical procedure. The stem cells start to grow into healthy blood cells by making their way into the bone marrow.
A supportive care is offered after the transplant for preventing complications, infections and side effects. This care involves providing a clean environment, frequent blood tests, and daily weigh-ins, strict measurement of fluid input and output, and monitoring of vital signs.
