Disease description:

Generally, the human body may experience a rejection reaction after bone marrow transplantation. Strictly speaking, rejection can occur anywhere in the body—the weaker the area, the more likely it is to be attacked. So, what should be done if rejection occurs after bone marrow transplantation for leukemia?

In general, bone marrow transplantation surgery may lead to certain rejection reactions, but it is usually better if the rejection occurs later. If a bone marrow transplant rejection reaction does occur, effective adjustments and examinations must be carried out at a正规 hospital. Patients with leukemia can only be treated through bone marrow transplantation. Typically, if the surgery is successful, rejection tends to occur later. Some patients have very high success rates and generally do not experience severe rejection reactions; the specific outcome depends on individual circumstances.
