Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure
Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure
Bone Marrow is a soft, fatty tissue inside your breast, skull, hip, rib and spine bones and contains stem cells. Stem cells produce red and white blood cells and platelets, which enable your blood to clot.
A Bone Marrow Transplant procedure becomes necessary as the only treatment option for some patients with forms of Leukaemia, severe Anaemia from destruction of bone marrow or malfunction and various immune deficiency diseases.
The following table shows the estimated U.S. average billed charges per transplant in 2008, as revealed in the Milliman Research Report of April, 2008:Transplant

The cost of Bone Marrow Transplant may be impossible for some patients to manage, especially for those without insurance coverage.
Yet the cost of a bone marrow transplant through ALAAFIYAH CARE is substantially less than other routes, and this life-saving procedure can be within financial reach.
Bone Marrow Transplant Procedure
A Bone Marrow Transplant is not a surgical procedure; rather, it is much like receiving a blood transfusion.
Your diseased or malfunctioning bone marrow is destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation prior to receiving healthy stem cells through an infusion by a catheter.
The infusion will take several hours.
The goal of a bone marrow transplant procedure is for the new stem cells to travel to your bone cavities, form new bone marrow and produce normal blood cells.
