The definition of the risk period for bone marrow transplantation varies. The peak relapse period after bone marrow transplantation is within one year, so it is usually one year after transplantation before the risk period is considered to have passed.
1. Bone marrow transplantation refers to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is an effective means of treating leukemia. Bone marrow transplantation has different levels of danger in the early, middle and late stages. In the early stage, the patient is kept in a sterile isolation chamber for about 1~2 months, which is a critical period for the growth and implantation of exogenous bone marrow, and can be discharged from the isolation chamber after passing the most dangerous period.
2. In the middle stage of bone marrow transplantation (3~6 months), the patient’s immunity gradually recovers, but infection and rejection reactions are more common, and within three months to one year, we should be alert to the recurrence of leukemia. Anti-rejection drugs such as tacrolimus are usually stopped within six months, but blood and bone marrow should be checked regularly, and the overall observation should be three to five years, and cure can be achieved after five years.
After bone marrow transplantation, we should follow the doctor’s instructions to do a good job of postoperative care, pay attention to diet, eat more nutritious food, high protein food, but also pay attention to balanced nutrition, enhance immunity. Specific treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of physicians.
