So the recipients body has less chance of rejecting it.
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!
There are 8 basic blood types, O+, A+, B+, AB+, O-, A-, B-, AB- . However these blood types are further broken down into 30 or so actual blood types. Some are categorized by antibodies (as in D) and these traits may be passed onto the recipient of a blood transfusion. Bone marrow donors blood type has been known to mutate the bone marrow recipients blood type into the donors type. Both the donor & the recipient may be of the same antigen blood type but the recipient may inherit antibodies as well as other characteristics of the donors specific blood type.
yes there is a difference
Osteoclasts. They are phagocytic just like macrophages and originate from the same stem cells in the bone marrow as macrophages.
No, they are different tests. A bone test typically measures bone density, while a bone marrow test involves taking a sample of bone marrow to check for conditions such as leukemia or other disorders affecting the bone marrow itself.
Myelogenous is the medical term meaning produced in bone marrow. Myeloid means the same thing.
Cancellous bone, also known as trabecular or spongy bone, contains red bone marrow, which is involved in the production of blood cells. This type of bone features a network of trabeculae that create a porous structure, allowing for the storage of marrow. In contrast, compact bone is denser and primarily serves as a structural support, lacking the same extensive marrow spaces found in cancellous bone.
Bone marrow type and blood type are not the same. You should get your bone marrow checked to see if it matches the patient's type. However, if you were to give your B+ type blood to the patient, then it would be compatible.
Type A preferred donor refers to a donor who has the same blood type as the recipient, making them the best match for a blood or organ donation. Permissible donors are those who have compatible blood types with the recipient, while incompatible donors have blood types that would cause a reaction if transplanted.
no its not a sure thing same as blood types it can differ between them
Overactive bone marrow refers to a condition where the bone marrow produces an excessive number of blood cells. This can lead to conditions such as polycythemia vera, where there is an overproduction of red blood cells, or essential thrombocythemia, characterized by an excess of platelets. Treatment aims to regulate blood cell production to prevent complications such as blood clots or bleeding disorders.
A bone marrow match is when a person's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) tissue type matches that of a patient in need of a bone marrow transplant. This matching is crucial to reduce the likelihood of rejection and improve the success of the transplant. Finding a compatible donor is essential for the patient's body to accept the new bone marrow and start producing healthy blood cells.
