What bone marrow is sed in a bone marrow transplant?
In a bone marrow transplant, the bone marrow that is used typically comes from a compatible donor, such as a sibling or unrelated donor. The donor’s bone marrow contains healthy stem cells that can replace the damaged or diseased marrow in the recipient, allowing for the production of new blood cells.
What bone marrow is used in a bone marrow transplant?
In a bone marrow transplant, the bone marrow used typically comes from a donor who matches the recipient's tissue type. This matching helps reduce the risk of rejection. The bone marrow is usually harvested from the donor's hip bones using a needle.
What kind of bone marrow transplantuses bone marrow from a doner?
All bone marrow transplants require bone marrow from a donor; the purpose of the transplant is to replace the patient's bone marrow (that no longer works) with some that does work, which clearly cannot come from the patient (since they have none that works). Hence a donor must be used.

How does a bone marrow transplant impact your blood type?
A bone marrow transplant can change a person's blood type to that of the donor's. This is because the bone marrow produces blood cells, including red blood cells that determine blood type. After a transplant, the new bone marrow starts producing blood cells with the donor's blood type.
Can a bone marrow biopsy determine if you are compatible for a bone marrow transplant?
Yes, a bone marrow biopsy can determine if the donor and recipient are compatible for a bone marrow transplant. This involves analyzing the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers present in the bone marrow cells of both the donor and recipient to assess compatibility. Matching these markers increases the chances of a successful transplant.
