Bone Marrow Donation Canada I'm Considering Bone Marrow Donation- Are There Any Dangers Or Implications To My Health By Doing This?

I'm considering bone marrow donation- are there any dangers or implications to my health by doing this? - bone marrow donation canada

One child in our community needs a bone marrow transplant for his leukemia-help and that has inspired me to seriously consider making a donation coincides with the WHO with me.
I'm afraid to go under general anesthesia, I would like more about the system to know where the stem cells collected and attached myself to a machine and a filter / my blood. It sounds really terrible.
Want it?
Are there any dangers in the short term or long term?
Is there a heart that is unreliable?

Have you ever donated plasma or a double red cell donation to the Red Cross? It is the same procedure for both, but they get another cell type.

The donation of stem cells from the peripheral blood, as apheresis. You are on hematopoietic stem cells (blood stem cells), which are a type of white blood cells collect. You have to take shots for a few days prior to donation, and vaccines to help to derive stem cells from bone marrow and blood-derived, and it makes sense to have enough cells to generate cells that is sufficient for himself more after the donation.

Two needles in their veins (one in each arm inserted in the rule). The machine draws blood from a needle, stem cell divides, it sends the rest of his blood, a heater and back into his body.

The procedure takes a few hours, and may be limited in the amount of movement during the procedure because they are all connected to the machine. You may need to do more than once, but once a day.

"The majority of bone marrow donations effectively in this way, the United States at least. But sometimes the real bones are still used, and the medical case manager will decide what the gift. But they have the final say on whether the donation.

With the heart, depending on what is wrong with him. When you enroll in the registry, a basic medical questionnaire, and if ever called upon to make a donation, which has a long history, blood tests and medical tests in May have all formed an ECG or stress test. You must be honest about everything, even if you think you disqualify the gift - lying, which could lead to death.

What should I do? I can not donate because my own history. He had leukemia and transplant. I owe my life to this transplant.

I recommend that you consult and collect further information from experts. Their motives are commendable, but should be considered to see if you have a suitable donor in all cases.

At my age I would not, but I thought if I was younger.


All the best to you!

Wow that's amazing. We really need more people like you in the world. In fact, I'm going to school to become a nurse in pediatric oncology. But props to midnight sounds really, as they have given you a little information to work with ... Good luck ...
PS You're in a second, if there is someone to help, esp funds. Child, I donate plasma regularly.
