LIVER DONATION
BONE MARROW Donation
Bone marrow is a spongy tissue found inside the bones. It produces stem cell for patient
treatment.
The amount of bone marrow harvested depends on the concentration of bone marrow cells in the donor's blood. Usually 2/4 of marrow and blood are harvested
The removal procedure is quite different from kidney removal procedure.
Some portions of your bone marrow is collected (2/4)x7, or to use for transplantation
Bone marrow transplants have different names, depending on who is getting the marrow. An autologous bone marrow transplant is when you have your bone marrow harvested and frozen (cryopreserved) for future use. An allogeneic bone marrow transplant is when you have your bone marrow harvested for a relative, usually a brother or sister.
When you are taken into the operating room, you will be placed on your stomach. A special needle is placed through the skin into the marrow cavity of the hipbone, where stem cells and blood are aspirated. Two or three skin punctures are made on each rear hipbone. Although the punctures will not show, there are bone punctures underneath the skin.
To obtain rich marrow, many small aspirations must be done. Once the procedure is finished, a bandage is placed over the needle marks to protect them
Up to seven(7) aspirations must be done for $45,000.00
