Donors for Bone Marrow Transplant
Autologous transplant - The patient's healthy, undamaged stem cells are harvested and transferred into the location with damaged stem cells. Healthy stem cells replace diseased stem cells and start making blood cells again. The patient is the donor.
Allogeneic transplant - A donor with compatible stem cells can provide healthy stem cells to replace the patient's damaged bone marrow. The donor needs to have the same HLA factor. Typically, the patient's siblings and close family members serve as donors.
Umbilical cord blood transplant - The umbilical cord contains stem cells that can be saved and used as donor stem cells in a bone marrow transplant.
