If it's a blood donor, you don't need to.
BMBP'S REPLY-I accept but we are talking about bone marrow transplantation
When an orthotopic transplantation is performed, a segment of the inferior vena cava attached to the liver is taken from the donor as well.
There are three types of bone marrow transplant procedure. One of the three is called an Autologous bone marrow transplant. With an Autologous bone marrow procedure, doctors take the persons own bone marrow and freeze it before chemo then reintroduce the marrow into red blood cells after chemo or radiation. The second type is Allogeneic. In an Allogeneic marrow procedure the marrow is taken from a matching marrow donor. The third type is called Umbilical cord blood transplant. With an umbilical cord blood transplant, there can be a wider variety of donor as the cells are still considered immature.
Bone marrow is taken out and stored for some time. After treatment, which could be chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the stored bone marrow is returned to the patient. This procedure is carried out during treatment of cancer, Hodgkin's or leukemia and is called autologous bone marrow transplant
You simply register with the national marrow donor program and then the cord will be taken after labor at the hospital where you give birth to your child.
Sometimes. In an allogeneic bone marrow transplant the bone marrow is taken from a donor and infused into a recipient. Usually the recipient has undergone intensive radiation therapy in order to wipe out the immune system so that it will not attack the foreign bone marrow cells (reject it) and the donor marrow has had some cells that would attack the recipient removed. In an autologous transplant bone marrow is removed from the patients, treated in some way, and then infused back into the patient. It can be frozen and saved while the patient undergoes some kind of therapy and then thawed and reinfused. In a syngeneic transplant marrow from one identical twin is infused into the other twin. This one is pretty cool because no treatment is needed to prevent rejection (but the recipient will probably still receive treatment for the disease.
No. They test hair for length, durability, and whether the donor followed the necessary directions in shipping their hair samples. Drugs abused or taken by the donor is an unrelated factor.
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.
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.
Often marrow is taken from the sternum.
Sometimes, depending on the condition of the blood vessels that the recipient has. Actually, usually they are taken, but may not always be used.
Donor animal
If a kidney is taken from a live donor it is much healthier and has a better chance of being accepted by the recipient's body than a kidney from a dead donor. For the donor, this does involve major surgery, so it's a bit of a disadvantage to the living donor.
