Patient's question:
A friend's younger brother had been experiencing frequent nosebleeds recently. Later, it was discovered that he had leukemia and needed to undergo a bone marrow transplant. Fortunately, he was quite lucky and found a suitable bone marrow match quickly. As long as he is prepared for the surgery, I don't know what precautions are needed for a bone marrow transplant? Does a bone marrow transplant change blood type?Doctor's answer:
Bone marrow transplantation will never change blood type, and the pre-transplant matching training must be done well. Not every blood type is suitable for bone marrow transplantation. The suggestion for bone marrow transplantation is very strict and cannot have any issues. Bone marrow transplantation will never interfere with blood type. It is just that the cost of bone marrow transplantation is high, and the technology involved is also advanced, so it is essential to choose a good hospital.
