BLK-Max Centre for Bone Marrow Transplant is part of BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital that aims to provide patients with non-intrusive, compassionate care while advancing the understanding, treatment, cure, and prevention of blood-related diseases.
The unit is supported by a team of proficient experts who hold years of experience in performing Haploidentical Donor Transplantation and consistently treating a wide range of blood disorders and blood cancers. Our multidisciplinary team offers round-the-clock service and high-quality treatment to meet the individual needs of each patient in the best way possible.
Studies have proved that less than 30% of the patient’s find a stem cell match among family members, this number decreases to 5% in the case of people with mixed race. Approximately 70% of patients who do not have an HLA-identical sibling donor have to undertake hematopoietic stem cell transplantation treatment to cure their blood-related disorders.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I choose a Haploidentical donor?
Choosing a haploidentical donor for a stem cell transplant typically involves a thorough evaluation by medical professionals. The donor is usually a close family member, such as a parent, sibling, or child, who shares half of the patient's HLA (human leukocyte antigen) markers. Younger male donors are usually preferred.
2. How are donors matched?
Donors are matched based on their HLA (human leukocyte antigen) markers and proteins on the cells' surface. The closer the match in HLA markers between the donor and recipient, the better the chances of a successful transplant.
3. What is haploidentical transplantation for aplastic anaemia?
Haploidentical transplantation for aplastic anaemia is a stem cell transplant using donor cells from a family member who is a half-match (usually a parent or child) to the patient. It can be a life-saving treatment option when a fully matched donor is not available.
4. Who are related haploidentical donors?
Related haploidentical donors are typically close family members, such as parents, children, or siblings, who share half of the patient's HLA (human leukocyte antigen) markers.
5. How many times can a donor donate bone marrow?
Bone marrow donors can donate multiple times if needed, as the body can regenerate bone marrow. However, the frequency and eligibility for subsequent donations depend on the donor's health and the specific guidelines of the transplant program, and they need to be discussed with the haematologist.
