Patient's question:
Since middle school, I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine, for stone removal and to relieve pain. Usually, I'm fine, but once it recurs, it can be life-threatening. If it recurs, the pain in my waist is like being cut by a knife, and the whole person feels pain even when answering. My face turns deathly pale. The doctor suggested I undergo bone marrow transplantation after a thorough examination at the hospital. Hello, what are the dangers of bone marrow transplantation?Doctor's answer:
Modern hematopoietic stem cell transplantation methods use self-healing stem cells collected from peripheral blood. Through scientific methods, a large number of self-healing stem cells from bone marrow blood are mobilized to peripheral blood. Whole blood is collected from the donor's arm veins, and self-healing stem cells are extracted through a blood cell separator, while other blood components are returned to the donor. Since the entire collection process is carried out in a sterile environment following medical safety guidelines, it is very safe. After the collection is successfully completed, many minor pains and discomforts will disappear quickly. To date, there have been no reports of harm caused to donors by the collection of peripheral blood stem cells. A total of about 10 grams of self-healing stem cells are collected.
