In a procedure called "allogeneic bone marrow transplant," a donor is found whose marrow matches that of the patient.
All bone marrow transplants require bone marrow from a donor; the purpose of the transplant is to replace the patient's bone marrow (that no longer works) with some that does work, which clearly cannot come from the patient (since they have none that works). Hence a donor must be used.
Autologous = own marrow Allogeneic = transplant from a related (or tissue matched) donor. Syngeneic = transplant from an identical twin.
If it's a blood donor, you don't need to. BMBP'S REPLY-I accept but we are talking about bone marrow transplantation
This is bone marrow transplant. A compatible donor should be screen and crossmatch before they can perform the transplant.
