A blood test cannot directly show a broken bone, but it can indicate bone turnover or injury through specific markers. For example, elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase may suggest bone healing or turnover associated with fractures. Additionally, a complete blood count (CBC) can help assess for signs of infection or inflammation related to a fracture. However, imaging techniques like X-rays or MRIs are typically used to diagnose a broken bone.

Can a bone marrow transplant change the DNA of the new blood cells?

Sort of... Assuming there is no GVHD and the bone marrow transplant is successful, a blood test will show what percent of the recipient's blood is their own blood and what percent of the recipient's blood was produced from the donor's bone marrow. If the test comes back ">95%", then the recipient's blood and the donor's blood have become DNA-identical. Interestingly enough, the recipient's hair and saliva remain the same DNA they were born with. Their hair and saliva do NOT change to the donor's DNA. So, the recipient of the bone marrow transplant would then have two DNA's in their body. Neat stuff!

How soon will a blood test show if you are pregnant?

I called and asked my obgyn, and she said a blood test would only be accurate two weeks after your missed period and to only do it as a validation of a home pregnancy test. A blood test shows before you've missed a period, but at this early stage you would have to have 2 blood tests to show that the hormones are rising as there is quite a variation in normal, and a single test would not show you are pregnant.
