There are different types of fluids present in our body. These fluids are important in proper functioning of the body. The most important bodily fluid is blood. Blood is a fluid which is present in both animals and human beings. It plays a vital role n the body. The main role of blood is to deliver necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells. It also plays the role of transporting metabolic waste away from those body parts. There are two types of blood cells which are found in human beings – red blood cells and white blood cells. Red blood cells are the most common types of blood cells and their main role is to deliver oxygen to the body tissues. White blood cells are also known as leukocytes and they protect us against infectious disease and foreign invaders. When we talk about blood, then how can the mention of bone marrow be not there? There are many different diseases and conditions which can affect the working of our bone marrow. The solution to this problem is bone marrow transplant. BLK is the best option for that.

Now, the main role of bone marrow in our body is used to produce blood cells – red blood cells and white blood cells.

The samples of bone marrows are also used in diagnosing various hematological as well as non hematological disorders and also determine toxicity to drugs and radiation. In the form of structure, our bone marrow is divided into two different sections. One is the vascular section and the other is non vascular section. Our vascular system supplies nutrients and transport blood stem cells. In non vascular section, process of hematopoiesis or formation of blood cells occurs.

One interesting feature of our bone marrow is that when there is shortage of blood supply in the body, yellow marrow is converted to red marrows to produce more blood cells. There are different types of bone marrow transplant that is done. Some of the types are mentioned below –  

1.  Autologous transplant – in autologous transplant, stem cells from the patient’s own body are used. There is process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Stem cells are removed from the body before these procedures. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy is given, stem cells are kept back in the body.

2. Haploid bone marrow transplant – in this type of transplant, half HLA matched donor is used instead of fully HLA matched donor. The chance of a transplant being successful will be higher when HLA match between the donor and the recipient will be close.

3. Allogeneic transplant – in this type of transplant, stem cells from the donor’s body are used. A brother or sister is usually considered as a good match.
