Conditions and Symptoms
Autologous Stem Transplantation (Stem transplantation from patient’s own body) is required for the below conditions:
- Multiple Myeloma- A cancer that originates in the bone marrow’s white blood cells is called a plasma cell
- Hodgkin Lymphoma- A blood cancer where cells grow beyond the lymphatic system
- Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma- A cancer that originates in lymphatic system where tumours develop from lymphocytes
- Acute Lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is cancer in the white blood cells causing lymphoblasts to grow in bone marrow and multiply continuously
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) - A cancer caused in the bone marrow due to abnormal growth of white blood cells, interfering with the production of normal blood cells.
- Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) - It is a bone marrow stem cell disorder characterised by unregulated growth of white blood cells in bone marrow, and it causes proliferation of granulocytes
- Myelodysplastic syndrome- A disorder of stem cells in the bone marrow in which quality of blood-forming cells decline significantly, causing the patient to go for blood transfusions
Allogeneic stem transplantation (Stem transplantation from other patient’s body) is required for below conditions:
- Thalassemia- a genetic blood disease where people cannot make normal haemoglobin required to produce red blood cells.
- Aplastic anemia- It is a rare disease where the stem cells are unable to produce mature blood cells.
- Sickle cell anemia- It’s an abnormality present in the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin found in red blood cells leading to a rigid, sickle-like shape.
Transfusion-dependent anemia
- Fanconi anemia- It is a genetic defect in proteins responsible for DNA repairing. It can develop into cancer and cause bone marrow failure.
- Pure red cell aplasia- It is a type of anemia that reduces the count of red blood cells significantly.
- Metabolic disorders- It is a disorder when abnormal chemical reactions in the body make structural changes in the normal metabolic process
- Immunodeficiency states.
It starts in the bone marrow which is an integral source of blood production. In this, the blood production process is interrupted due to an abnormal type of blood cell.
- Skin lesions- Plasma cells may form purple lumps
- Painless Swollen lymph nodes in neck, armpits or groin
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Increased sensitivity in lymph nodes
- Extreme palpitations
- Easy bruising and bleeding
- Enlarged spleen and liver
- Congenital conditions like short stature, abnormalities of skin, head, ears and development disabilities
Procedures and Surgeries
It is a procedure where the stem cells are removed from the patient and stored. The patient is then treated with high-dose chemotherapy to destroy their malignant cells. After that, the patient's own stored stem cells are transfused into their blood. This type of transplant has minimal complication and is preferred for diseases like multiple myeloma
It is a procedure where stem cells are donated from one person to another, preferably a genetically matched stem cell donor. The donor’s healthy stem cells are used for replacing the patient’s unhealthy cells that have been damaged by giving a high dose of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
It is an allogenic haemopoietic stem cell (HPC) transplantation, which involves matching the tissue type with that of a related or unrelated donor. This transplantation can be performed safely on patients suffering from hematologic malignancies.
It is a transplantation that can be performed using other person’s stem cells (allogenic). In this procedure, the human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-matched bone marrow donors are identified especially for patients without a family matched donor.
