Care of the client receiving allogenic bone marrow transplant
With this type of BMT, the transplant comes from a donor. Often family members are found to be the best match. High doses of chemotherapy with or without radiation are administered, then the bone marrow is transplanted to “rescue” the host. This type is most commonly used in leukemia patients.
BMT allows for large doses of chemotherapy (with or without radiation) to be administered to clients where tumours are resistant to the standard doses of treatment. Once these treatments are complete, a bone marrow transplant is used to replace the client’s bone marrow.
The Goal of a BMT is to cure a client’s malignant or nonmalignant disease.
