Is the success rate of bone marrow transplantation for aplastic anemia high?

Aplastic anemia is a disease that is difficult to treat clinically. A bone marrow transplant is needed, and many people want to know the success rate of bone marrow transplant for aplastic anemia. In fact, the success rate after transplantation for this disease is still related to individual constitution and is not very optimistic.

1. Not optimistic

Hormones are usually used to stimulate cells that still have hematopoietic function, so that they can accelerate their differentiation into various blood cells and keep the human body in a relatively safe environment. Aplastic anemia is divided into acute and chronic. Acute aplastic anemia has a rapid onset and a fast course. It has a very high short-term mortality rate; chronic aplastic anemia progresses slowly. Patients can survive with the disease for more than 10 years or even more than 20 years. However, the quality of life will be greatly reduced. At present, the only way to cure aplastic anemia is bone marrow transplantation, but the success rate is not optimistic.

2. The success rate is not high

Anemia is a relatively common symptom. Anemia is not a single disease. Many diseases can be accompanied by anemia. Common diseases include heavy bleeding and hematopoietic disorders, which can lead to anemia. Among them, aplastic anemia is caused by the decreased hematopoietic function of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells. This type of anemia is currently very common in my country. Drugs are not ideal for the treatment of aplastic anemia, and hormone therapy and immunosuppressant therapy are mainly used. The next option is to choose bone marrow transplantation to fundamentally solve the problem of the disease. However, bone marrow transplantation generally requires multiple procedures such as pre-transplant chemotherapy. Not all bone marrow transplant patients are cured; some relapse after transplantation. This is related to many factors such as the patient's organ function and autoimmune response. Currently, the actual success rate of bone marrow transplantation is about 50%, but the actual rate recognized by the medical community is around 33%. Not very optimistic.

3. Notes

Patients with anemia must develop good eating and living habits, pay attention to replenishing hematopoietic raw materials, patients with iron deficiency should pay attention to supplementing iron, and also pay attention to supplementing folic acid and vitamins. Do not abuse drugs, and choose drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Patients with severe anemia should pay attention to rest, avoid long periods of labor, do not do strenuous exercise, and reduce oxygen consumption.
