Yes it is possible.

The blood cells are produced in the bone marrow so it is only natural, after a bone marrow transplant, for the donated marrow to manufacture blood of the donor's type.

Yes

Not neccessarily. Since umbilical cord blood cells are "immature" adult stem cells, they do not recognize other cells as "invaders" and a blood type match is not required. Graft vs. host disease is not a problem.

Where can I find information about leukemia in children?

The National Marrow Donor program and other bone marrow donor registries provide excellent information regarding leukemia in children.

Some Facts About Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant is the transplant of marrow cells and blood from a healthy person to a person who is in need of marrow and blood cells. The healthy blood and marrow replace the diseased cells of the sick person. The marrow cells are stem cells, which means they can develop into red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.Who Needs a Bone Marrow Transplant?People who have blood cancers like leukemia may need bone marrow transplants. Leukemia is a malignant overgrowth of white blood cells in the bone marrow, the lymph glands, the spleen, the liver or other organs that are part of the lymphatic system. Other candidates for the transplant are:People whose suffer from thalassemias, where the red blood cells contain less hemoglobin than normal.People who suffer from aplastic anemia, where the bone marrow doesn't produce enough blood cells.People who suffer from sickle cell anemia, where the red blood cells are deformed and can't carry hemoglobin properly. Sickle cell anemia causes episodes of extreme pain and chronic poor health and can be life threatening.Sometimes radiation and chemotherapy can damage bone marrow to the point where it can't produce blood cells, so a bone marrow transplant is needed.Who Gives a Bone Marrow Transplant?The patient can give a bone marrow transplant to themselves. If the patient was healthy and had to have treatment where the destruction of their bone marrow was a possibility, they can have their bone marrow stem cells stored.Other bone marrow transplants come from a donor. The problem here is that the donor's stem cells have to match the patient's very closely. Sometimes, even a brother, sister or parent isn't a match for the patient and there might be a wait till a donor is found.Sometimes the donor cells come from umbilical cord blood.How Is Bone Marrow Collected?Nowadays, doctors rarely perform the painful procedure where marrow is taken out of the donor's hip, but in most cases a needle withdraws blood from the donor's arm. The stem cells are removed from the blood and what's left of the donor's blood is returned to them.


When physicians perform an organ transplant they choose a donor whose tissues match those of the recipient as closely as possible Which cell components are being matched?

Cell-surface carbohydrates are what they are matching.

How could an antibody cause a problem in a transplant?

Antibodies can cause rejection of the donor organ/ tissue within minutes if the person receiving the organ already had antibodies against the donor. Rejection of donated blood involves antibodies which form the basis of the immune response triggered by the donation. Rejection of a donated kindey or heart involves both antibodies and cell mediated immunity.

Why you recommend blood donor to donate after 3 months?

Since it takes 120 days to fully replenish the red blood cell volume, the minimum time for build up of a new red cell supply has been set at 90 days - in order to minimize the risk of anemia developing (in the donor).


What is the success of a bone marrow transplantation?

A bone marrow transplant takes a donor’s healthy blood-forming cells and puts them into the patient’s bloodstream, where they begin to grow and make healthy red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Patients receive high doses of chemotherapy to prepare their body for the transplant. Then on transplant day, the patient receives the donated cells in a process that is like getting blood or medicine through an intravenous (IV) catheter, or tube.
