Is bone marrow transplantation a bone replacement

summary

I have been suffering from thalassemia for a long time. Although I have tried many methods for treatment, the effect has not been very ideal. Some doctors suggest bone marrow transplantation for treatment. Now let's see if bone marrow transplantation is bone replacement.

Is bone marrow transplantation a bone replacement

First: a bone marrow transplant is not a bone replacement. Bone marrow transplantation, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is a method of treating a series of diseases by intravenous infusion of hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells to reconstruct the normal hematopoiesis and immune system of patients.

Secondly, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has replaced the term "bone marrow transplantation" to a certain extent, because hematopoietic stem cells not only come from bone marrow, but also can be mobilized into peripheral blood by hematopoietic factors, and can also come from umbilical cord blood. These hematopoietic stem cells can be used to reconstruct hematopoietic and immune system.

Finally, a series of blood and bone marrow tests should be done before transplantation to determine the diagnosis, type and state of the disease, so as to determine the appropriate pretreatment scheme, monitoring of primary diseases after transplantation and appropriate intervention strategies.
