Bone Marrow Transplant
A bone marrow transplant (BMT), also known as a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), is a medical procedure in which damaged or diseased bone marrow is replaced with healthy stem cells to treat various conditions, primarily those affecting the blood and immune system.
Common symptoms
A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells to treat conditions affecting the blood and immune system.
There are autologous transplants, where a patient's own stem cells are used, and allogeneic transplants, which involve using stem cells from a compatible donor.
Recovery varies from person to person, but it can take several months to years for patients to fully regain their strength and return to a more normal lifestyle. Frequent medical follow-up is required to monitor progress.
