A bone marrow transplant is a medical procedure that involves the replacement of a person's unhealthy or damaged bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. This procedure is typically used to treat various blood disorders, such as leukaemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell anaemia, as well as certain genetic disorders that affect the bone marrow. During a bone marrow transplant, the healthy cells can be obtained from the patient, a matched donor, or a donor's umbilical cord blood. The procedure involves high doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to eliminate the unhealthy bone marrow, followed by the infusion of healthy cells. The bone marrow transplant aims to restore the patient's immune system and enable it to produce healthy blood cells that can help fight infection and disease.
