  • A bone marrow transplant is a process of transferring healthy bone marrow cells from a donor to a patient who has unhealthy bone marrow. (medtravelhelp.com)
  • About a week or two before the bone marrow harvest is done, the patient (or the donor, for an Allogeneic transplantation) may have 1 to 2 units of blood taken. (medtravelhelp.com)
  • On occasions when the patient does not have a good matched relative / unrelated donor, a partially matched, unrelated cord blood with adequate cell dose would be an option. (medtravelhelp.com)
  • These new cells will repopulate the bone marrow, thus giving the patient a completely new immune system resembling that of the donor. (fwf.ac.at)
  • For allogeneic transplantation, the patient receives bone marrow or stem cells from a donor who may or may not be a relative. (ucsfhealth.org)
  • Bone marrow transplants work best if the HLAs from the donor and the patient are a close match. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Emphysema is end stage and generalized by the time the patient needs transplantation. (medscape.com)
  • In addition, using iPS and iN cell technology patient-specific cells can be generated for transplantation, avoiding the need for immunosuppression and risk for rejection. (lu.se)
  • Access to transplantation entails more than the surgery itself, because success is measured by longer survival of the patient and a long-term improvement in the quality of life. (who.int)
  • Other risk factors for survival were primary refractory disease, initial lymphoma stage, number of previous chemotherapy lines, and high amounts of blood product transfusions. (smw.ch)
  • It induces the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and functionally activates mature blood neutrophils. (uchicago.edu)
  • For example, in developing and developed countries alike, kidney transplantation not only yields survival rates and quality-of-life that are far superior to those obtained with other treatments for end-stage renal disease, such as haemodialysis, but is also less costly in the long run. (who.int)
  • A working group formed by the Public Health Service (PHS) in 1991 to address these issues concluded that further recommendations should be made to reduce the already low risk of HIV transmission by transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • This occurrence raised questions about the need for additional federal oversight of transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
  • The working group concluded that, although existing recommendations are largely sufficient, revisions should be made to reduce the already low risk of HIV transmission via transplantation of organs and tissues. (cdc.gov)
