Why does bone marrow in your bloodstream kill you?

Answer 1

To my best knowledge, I believe it has to do with where the marrow may travel. For example, if the marrow reaches the heart, complications may occur such as Heart Failure or a Heart Attack.

Immediate surgery or open heart surgery would be used to remove the marrow, but there is about a 3-7% mortality rate due to the surgery and the complication resulting of it. These include stroke, and heart and brain damage.

Hi my name is Punkey

"when you get a bone fracture such as you femur and leave it untreated even for one hour some of you bone marrow might leak into you bloodstream causing a fat embolism. it is highly unlikely but very possible and it can and in most cases will kill you. it happens a lot when people get amputation. i am a little worried about it right now because i shattered my right hand, wrist, and both bones in my arm on may,25,2010 and they cant fix it until June 2,2010 my arm hand and fingers are purple and green but i don't feel pain unless i move it and they cant hard cast it because the open wound where the bones came through my skin and because the swelling. it sucks." this is what a fat embolism is just incase you didnt know

-Fat embolism syndrome follows long bone fractures. Its classic presentation consists of an asymptomatic interval followed by pulmonary and neurologic manifestations combined with petechial hemorrhages. The syndrome follows a biphasic clinical course. The initial symptoms are probably caused by mechanical occlusion of multiple blood vessels with fat globules that are too large to pass through the capillaries. Unlike other embolic events, the vascular occlusion in fat embolism is often temporary or incomplete since fat globules do not completely obstruct capillary blood flow because of their fluidity and deformability. The late presentation is thought to be a result of hydrolysis of the fat to more irritating free fatty acids which then migrate to other organs via the systemic circulation.-

Answer 2

The condition in which the bone marrow is overactive is called Polycythemia vera. Polycythemia can cause itching after bathing, flushing of the face and hands, dizziness, and high blood pressure. Without treatment, there is increasing risk of stroke and heart attacks. These events can lead to death.
