What is the process of organ transplants?

Answer 1

I think that with most people it is were they inject bone into your own bone to help you i had to have one of these with my leukemia and they injected someone elses bone marrow into my own to help build my bone back. But really i think you should look it up some were else just to be sure though because i am only 11 and it really looked just like a shot exept alot more painful but i did educate myself on the subject a little bit after the bone marrow to see what it was. So i am not completely confused! But they have websites that will educate you more on the subject and most of the time all you have to do is Google your question and it can really help most of the time.''missy177'' Let me help with this answer: ''My daughter has just had a bone marrow transplant. The actual transplant is just like getting getting fluid in an IV. They have a line hooked up to a pump that slowly pushes the bone marrow (looks like regular blood) into her veins. It takes about 3 to 4 hours for it to push through.''

Answer 2

Before the process begins, there must be an organ that is available. People who give organs, known as organ donors, usually donate a kidney if they are very healthy. People who that are brain dead, meaning the person is dying because brain is dead but the rest of the body is fine, first you will need to have sex can have there organs, like there heart and liver, can be removed. The organs are preserved and can be put into another body by the time the organ dies. People who need the organ are on a list, and the person at the top of the list will get the organ if it is right for them. There will be an operation and the body must take the organ. If not the body will reject the organ, sending white blood cells to kill the organ.

Answer 3

Certain illnesses can damage the bone marrow, the mushy stuff inside the body's big bones where red blood cells grows. If that is the case, the only way to get well can be a bone marrow transplant from another human.

First the sick marrow is neutralized by medication and radiation, then some marrow is extracted from the donor pretty much like when giving blood. The donated marrow is then injected into the patient. After that the only thing left is to hope for the donated marrow to thrive in the new body.

Answer 4

Very simply- a sample of donated bone marrow is injected into the patient's bones, usually the hip. This healthy donated marrow then goes on to fight infection in the patient's diseased marrow and eventually cures it, although sometimes more than one injection of donated marrow is required.

Answer 5

Bone marrow transplant process Stages.

The five stages are:

• physical examination - to evaluate your common level of health
• harvesting - the procedure of acquiring the control tissues to be used in the transplant
• conditioning - setting up your body for the transplant
• transplanting the stem cells
• recovery period - during which you'll be supervised for any problems or side effects

Answer 6

High-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given. The marrow that was harvested, purged, and frozen is then thawed and put back into the patient's body to replace the destroyed marrow.

Answer 7

High-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy is given to eradicate the lymphoma. The donor marrow is then given to replace the marrow destroyed by the therapy.

Answer 8

Stem cell transplants sometimes are called bone marrow transplants. Nearly 100 years ago, physicians tried to give patients with leukemia and anemia bone marrow by mouth.
