Different types of bone marrow transplants are performed by bone marrow transplant specialists. Normally, We find various types of bone marrow transplants. But the most common ones are autologous and allogeneic bone marrow.
Autologous bone marrow: In this type, the recipient uses stem cells from his own body. Here, the stem cells are acquired from the recipient either by bone marrow harvest or apheresis (a process of collecting outermost blood stem cells), preserved, and then infused back into the patient after treatment.
Allogeneic bone marrow: In this type, the patient uses stem cells of another person ie the donor. One can acquire stem cells from a person whose bone marrow closely matches yours. The donor may be a close family member, a parent or sibling, or any individual from the national donor list.
The cells are then transmitted by the infusion process (or reinfused, if autologous) into the patient’s bloodstream. In both cases, the infused cells are hematopoietic stem cells, which, once transfused into the patient’s body, help to produce new blood and immune cells.
