The umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has the function of sending blood to the baby and returning blood from the baby after it has been utilized. There are two arteries in the umbilical cord that do this.
The blood contained in a baby’s umbilical cord can be useful in fighting life-threatening illness. Since the umbilical cord is usually discarded after a baby is born, parents are now choosing umbilical cord blood storage to preserve this valuable blood for future use.The blood in the umbilical cord contains healthy blood-forming cells. When this blood can be saved using umbilical cord blood storage, this healthy blood can be used later in patients with diseased blood-forming cells, who are fighting diseases like leukemia, lymphoma or inherited metabolic or immune system disorders. The blood saved using umbilical cord blood storage can be used for a cord blood transplant.A cord blood transplant has a better chance of being successful for a patient when the blood-forming cells come from a donor who closely matches the patient. The umbilical cord blood seems to be most useful patient who are struggling to find a matching marrow donor, patients who have an unusual tissue type, patients with a life-threatening genetic disorder, or patients who need to receive a transplant quickly.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services describes the options that expectant parents have for umbilical cord blood storage. The parents can choose to have the cord blood donated to a public umbilical cord blood storage bank. The blood stored in these public banks is made available to patients who are in need of a transplant. Not every hospital can collect the cord blood for umbilical cord blood storage in public banks.Another option for expectant parents is to store the cord blood in a family (or private) umbilical cord blood storage bank. These banks are available to any family willing to pay for them.A third option for expectant parents is to store the cord blood for a family member who has a specific medical need. The parents can have then the blood they saved in umbilical cord blood storage directly donated to the family member who needs it.The fourth option for expectant parents is to donate the cord blood to a laboratory or technology company that can use it for research. In these cases, there is no charge for collecting the cord blood.Any expectant parents who want to consider umbilical cord blood storage for any purpose should talk to their health care provider.
