Aplastic anemia is a severe condition in which the body of the patient fails to produce sufficient blood cells, thus leading to potentially fatal bone marrow failure. The perilous condition is characterized by a hypocellular bone marrow and pancytopenia bone marrow.

Bone marrow or stem cell transplantation is the right choice of treatment that aplastic anemia patients can opt for. Optimal BMT candidates should have the best psychological and physical condition. He or she should be young, below 50 years of age and it should be further evaluated if the donor for BMT aplastic anemia is suitable.

Bone marrow is the fatty, soft tissue located inside the bones. BMT procedure for aplastic anemia removes the destroyed and damaged bone marrow and replaces it with healthy marrow retrieved from the donor. Stem cells play integral in optimum production of blood cells.

BMT is a costly procedure, even in South East Asian countries such as India and Thailand. However, the BMT cost in these countries is still a fraction of what it costs in the US and the UK. It should, however, be kept in mind that there are some possible BMT complications that a patient may suffer from following the procedure, and infection is one of them. These infections can be potentially life-threatening, therefore, seeking doctor’s advice is recommended.
