I have acute leukemia and need a bone marrow transplant. Are there any complications or side effects associated with bone marrow donation for acute leukemia?

Dr. Zhang Heyang
Acute leukemia patients who undergo bone marrow donation are highly likely to experience complications, as there is a risk of severe infection after surgery, possible graft rejection, and potential immune system disorders. Therefore, close monitoring is required following bone marrow transplantation. Patients should adjust their psychological state, avoid negative emotions, and maintain a positive and cheerful mood.
