What is Bone Marrow?


A part of bones called “bone marrow” create blood cells. Marrow is the soft, spongy tissue inside your bones. Bone marrow produces blood cells called “hematopoietic” stem cells. These cells will develop into many different kinds of cells. They can turn into more bone marrow cells. Or they can turn into any type of blood cell.
Certain cancers and different types of diseases keep hematopoietic stem cells from developing normally. If they’re not normal, neither are the blood cells that they make. A stem cell transplant provides you new stem cells. The new stem cells can make new, healthy blood cells. It creates the following parts of the blood.
  1. Red Blood Cells: which carry oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
  2. White Blood Cells: which fight infection.
  3. Platelets: which are responsible for the formation of clots.
What is a bone marrow transplant?
Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) is a special therapy for patients with certain cancers or other diseases. A Bone marrow transplant involves taking cells that are normally found in the bone marrow (stem cells), filtering those cells, and giving them back either to the donor (patient) or to another person. The goal of BMT is to transfuse healthy bone marrow cells into a person after his or her own unhealthy bone marrow has been treated to kill the abnormal cells.
A bone marrow transplant, also called a stem cell transplant, is a treatment for some types of cancer. For example, you might have one if you have leukemia, multiple myeloma, or some types of lymphoma. Doctors also treat some blood diseases with stem cell transplants.

Symptoms of leukemia blood cancer | Bone Marrow Transplant Abroad

Symptoms of leukaemia blood cancer  Leukemia symptoms are often mild at first but slowly worsen over time. Some people with chronic (slow-growing) leukaemia don’t notice any symptoms at all, and only find out they have the disease when they have a routine blood test. The symptoms of leukaemia depend on how many abnormal white blood cells are in the body, and where they collect. In cases of acute (fast-growing) leukaemia , abnormal white blood cells multiply rapidly and spill out from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, crowding out healthy blood cells, which can no longer do their job properly. In chronic leukaemia, abnormal white blood cells fail to die, and slowly build up in the bloodstream, bone marrow, and other organs. Common symptoms of leukaemia Some of the more common symptoms of leukaemia include: tiredness anaemia (paleness, weakness, breathlessness) repeated infections, for example mouth sores, infected cuts and scratches prone to bruising and bleeding.
