summary

A few days ago, on my way to work, I heard my neighbor talking about a man nearby who fainted and was sent to the hospital where he was found to have leukemia. Now I'm waiting for a bone marrow transplant operation in the hospital. My postoperative recovery is very good, and there are no complications for the time being. Now let's learn about the complications of bone marrow transplantation.

What are the complications of bone marrow transplantation

First: infection, fever: mainly pulmonary infection, anemia, severe cases can be complicated by anaemic heart disease, bleeding is mainly seen in the skin, mucous membrane and visceral bleeding, joint pain, acute leukemia MDS RA, RAS type evolved into acute myeloid leukemia incidence of about 13%, this group of cases survival period of 50 months.

Second: after bone marrow transplantation, the greatest risk is the occurrence of rejection, so patients need to take anti rejection drugs for a long time to minimize the occurrence of rejection. Once rejection occurs, it is dangerous to life. In addition, after bone marrow transplantation, we also need to observe the number of cells in the body to prevent infection, coagulation abnormalities and other situations.

Third: leukemia is divided into many kinds, different types, different age, timely treatment or not, different severity of complications and different prognosis. The success of bone marrow transplantation does not mean that the cloning of abnormal hematopoietic stem cells in your body has stopped, but that it has been temporarily suppressed. Many people have been successfully transplanted and eventually die of severe infection, hemorrhage and anemia caused by bone marrow failure.

matters needing attention

After the bone marrow transplantation, we should stay in bed more, but not too long. After all, rest is harmful to the disease, so we need to cooperate with the doctor actively. We should not have the feeling of resistance, and insist on taking drugs according to the doctor's instructions.
