The Bone Marrow Transplant comprises a sequence of actions. Initially, a comprehensive medical evaluation is performed on the patient to assess their eligibility for the operation. This is followed by conditioning therapy, which consists of intensive chemotherapy or radiation therapy aimed at obliterating the diseased bone marrow. After this preparatory period, the patient gets intravenous bone marrow transplant, much like a blood transfusion.
After the transplant, the patient's health is meticulously monitored in a sanitized setting to reduce the possibility of infections while the new bone marrow develops. Engraftment, the process where the transplanted cells begin to proliferate and generate new blood cells, usually commences in a few weeks. Managing possible complications such as GVHD and organ damage, as well as the provision of supportive care like antibiotics, blood transfusions, and other medications may become necessary for patients at this stage.
