What is an Autologous stem cell transplant?

An autologous stem cell transplant uses healthy blood stem cells from your own body to replace your diseased or damaged bone marrow. An autologous stem cell transplant is also called an autologous bone marrow transplant. Using cells from your own body during your stem cell transplant offers some advantages over stem cells from a donor. For example, you don’t need to worry about incompatibility between the donor’s cells and your own cells if you have an autologous stem cell transplant.

Why it's done

Autologous stem cell transplants are typically used in people who need to undergo high doses of chemotherapy and radiation to cure their diseases. These treatments are likely to damage the bone marrow. An autologous stem cell transplant helps to replace the damaged bone marrow.

An autologous stem cell transplant is most often used to treat:

  • Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Myeloma
  • Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
  • Plasma cell disorders

What are the common complications & Risks which can arise with a Bone Marrow Transplant?

A bone marrow transplant poses numerous risks. Some people experience minimal problems with a bone marrow transplant, while others can have serious complications that require treatment or hospitalization. Sometimes, complications are life-threatening.

Possible complications from a bone marrow transplant include:

  • Graft-versus-host disease (allogeneic transplant only)
  • Stem cell (transplant) failure
  • Organ damage
  • Infections
  • Cataracts
  • Infertility
  • New cancers
  • Death

What is the Success Rates of Bone Marrow Transplant?

Bone marrow transplant (BMT) has a predictable survival rate of nearly more than 60 percent. Every bone marrow transplant (BMT) case survival varies depending upon the type of transplant chosen like allogeneic or autologous. Even the complete replacement or removal of diseases marrow cells is not enough sometimes although it does efficiently work in most of the cases of transplant. The success and survival rates of any bone marrow transplant (BMT) depends greatly on patient’s condition and requirement. Bone marrow transplant (BMT) does cure some of the diseases and helps in extending life and improves the quality of life as well. But in some rare cases treating one disease leads to remission of another during or after the treatment. But those risks and complications and their chances can be discussed with a specialized doctor before undergoing a bone marrow transplant (BMT). 

How long Patient lives or survive after a bone marrow transplant?

People undergoing a bone marrow transplant (BMT) in India have a good survival rate. India has emerged as a global hub for several affordable but highly effective treatments. So any treatment in India including a bone marrow transplant (BMT) does have a good survival rate like in any other standard developed country but they charge too much unlike Indian economic. Several statistical data has been accumulated to date to support good survival rates offered by Indian BMT done for several diseases and age group patients. A relevant data states that nearly 30% to 40% of above 60 age group patients do survive more than 3 years after BMT done in India. The survival chances increase if younger is the patient age who are being treated and early is the diagnosis stage of the disease. Further, no reoccurrence until 2 years after BMT, even improves the chances of disease-free and longer survival -). 

When your liver is damaged beyond repair, chronic or acute, severe liver disease leading to liver failure can be considered for a liver transplant.

The following conditions may result in chronic liver failure:

  1. Chronic hepatitis with cirrhosis
  2. Primary biliary cholangitis (previously called primary biliary cirrhosis, it is a rare condition where the immune system inappropriately attacks and destroys the bile ducts)
  3. Sclerosing cholangitis (scarring and narrowing of the bile ducts inside and outside of the liver, causing the backup of bile in the liver)
  4. Biliary atresia (a rare disease of the liver that affects newborns)
  5. Alcoholism
  6. Wilson’s disease (a rare inherited disease with abnormal levels of copper throughout the body, including the liver)
  7. Hemochromatosis (a common inherited disease where the body has too much iron)
  8. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (an abnormal rise in alpha-1 antitrypsin protein in the liver, resulting in cirrhosis)
  9. Fatty Liver
  10. Viruses
  11. Liver Cancer
  12. Alcohol Abuse
  13. Metabolic Diseases
  14. Bile duct Diseases
  15. Tylenol Overdose

What are the common complications that people who receive bone marrow transplants experience?

  1. Infections
  2. Nausea, vomiting, or both
  3. diarrhea
  4. mucositis, which involves inflammation and soreness in the throat, mouth, and stomach
  5. graft failure, in which the transplanted cells do not produce new blood cells
  6. anemia

What is the life expectancy after a bone marrow transplant?

Patient who have undergone bone marrow transplant may live an additional 15 years after the treatment however live expectancy differs in many cases due to type of disease the patient has prior to the treatment. Consult a doctor for more accurate result based on the disease the patient has that led to bone marrow transplant.

What are the Preparation before the transplant?

You will need to undergo several health tests and exams at the transplant center before the transplant team can decide whether the surgery will be safe for you. These tests include:

  • Blood and tissue type tests
  • Test for HIV and hepatitis.
