If a bone marrow transplant treatment fails, it can lead to the return of the original disease, such as leukemia or another blood disorder, or result in complications like graft failure, where the new marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells. Patients may experience severe anemia, increased risk of infections, and bleeding issues. In such cases, further treatment options may include additional transplants, chemotherapy, or clinical trials, depending on the patient's condition and overall health. Close monitoring and supportive care are crucial to manage the complications effectively.
