What are the eligibility criteria for bone marrow transplant?

First, the compatibility of HLA tissues for the transplanted bone marrow must be ensured. Perfect patient-donor compatibility and tissue group incompatibility with a maximum number of one acceptable for bone marrow transplantation. Recently, it has become possible to perform transplant operations with more than 50% compliance between the kin donor and the patient, if there is no kin donor or extra-kin to the high-risk patient.

Is it possible for the bone marrow to be rejected by the body during the transplant?

If the marrow does not start producing blood cells within 15 days, rejection of the donor’s bone marrow by the recipient is dangerous. This rate ranges from 5% to 12% in allogeneic transplants depending on the type of donor and the degree of compatibility. This problem is almost non-existent in self-cultivation operations.

Is it possible to recur the disease after transplantation?

Disease recurrence after transplantation is a possible outcome. These possibilities vary depending on the underlying disease.
