Can bone marrow transplantation change blood type

summary

My child is only 4 years old and has always been very healthy. But recently, I found that the child is always listless and seems to have no strength. I went to the hospital for examination and said that it was anemia in the ground. After seeing many doctors, it didn't work. Later, the doctor said that he could only do bone marrow transplantation. Now let's share whether bone marrow transplantation can change blood type.

Can bone marrow transplantation change blood type

First, bone marrow transplantation usually needs to choose the same blood type, so as not to produce rejection. Even if the so-called "universal" type 0 blood is best transfused to patients with the same type 0, type 0 transfused to other blood types is an emergency measure, which may have side effects.

Second: after bone marrow transplantation, due to the gradual degradation of the patient's own hematopoietic stem cell function, resulting in complete loss of function, the patient's red blood cells continue to decline, and the donor's stem cells transplanted into the patient take on the hematopoietic function, so the patient's blood type gradually becomes the donor's blood type.

Third: it will change. After transplantation, the blood type will change to that of the donor. Because bone marrow stem cells are responsible for hematopoiesis. Bone marrow hematopoiesis can only be based on their original blood type. So after transplantation, it will change according to the donor's blood type.

matters needing attention

Bone marrow transplantation needs to be matched. Postoperative patients should pay attention to eliminating their anxiety and tension, stay in bed as much as possible, and cooperate with treatment. Due to the small amount of bone marrow collection, there is no damage to human health and no sequelae.
