Second: it is precisely because the bone marrow transplantation requires HLA matching, and there is no strict requirement for ABO blood group, so it will. The changed blood type is the same as the donor. Of course, if the recipient's blood type is the same as the donor's, it's the same as the original.

Third: Generally speaking, people's blood type will not change after birth, only in this case will it change. Patients with aplastic anemia and leukemia need bone marrow transplantation to obtain new hematopoietic capacity because of the problem of bone marrow hematopoietic capacity. Bone marrow as a hematopoietic organ, of course, determines the blood type. What blood is made from bone marrow is naturally what blood type.
