Steps and Requirements to donate bone marrow in Argentina

Are you interested in donating bone marrow? Do you have a relative or someone you know who you think could use your donation? Or do you just want to voluntarily contribute to the registry of bone marrow donors? the Requirements to donate bone marrow so that you are informed when doing it and do not have any confusion.

Requirements to be a bone marrow donor

To be a bone marrow donor, you only have to take into account the following things:

  • Be healthy
  • be between the ages of 18 and 55.
  • Have a weight of at least 50 kilos.
  • Be aware that your data and information provided at the time of analysis will be recorded in a national and international database.

Steps to become a bone marrow donor

To be able to donate bone marrow you only need two instances: registration and donation.

As a start, what should be done would be the registration, this is done in the National Registry of Voluntary Donors of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells CPH, this registration must be done at the donor headquarters that is easier for you to access in which you must donate blood.

After that a technician will inform you about the other requirements you will need to complete the registration procedure.

With your consent, a small sample will be taken from the donated blood unit to analyze the genetic code of your blood (HLA).

The Data obtained will be registered in the National Registry database and in another international database of 28 million active donors throughout the planet.

For a donation to be effective, the recipient must be 100% compatible with the donor’s code.

Generally, these donations are sent to the blood donor at the time it is needed, but this period between donating and receiving should not be long.

The person who wants to donate will only be contacted if a person is found who is compatible and who needs a transplant of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells.

As for the donation after the recipient who needs it with a 100% compatibility is obtained, they must establish the necessary times for the donation and the transportation of the CPH, but neither the donor nor the recipient of the transplant must travel already under these circumstances. .

Once the registry contacts the donor to ensure their decision, with a positive response, instructions will be given to the logistics body that will be in charge of effectively carrying out the procedure.

The donated will be able to choose the most appropriate procedure for him, there are two types of methods: The first is by peripheral blood; It consists of an outpatient procedure in which a series of vaccines will be provided to the donor so that the stem cells are released into the bloodstream and to be able to collect the blood by apheresis. The other procedure is directly to the bone marrow performed under general anesthesia, with a puncture in the hip bone is extracted.

Bone Marrow Donor Registry

The National Registry of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Donors is the entity in charge of registering voluntary donors of cells to be donated and used in transplant procedures to treat hematological diseases.

This action is completely voluntary and implies submitting to the provision that when a donation is needed and it turns out to be 100% compatible with your people, you must be willing to make the donation, in the same way the technical staff of the registry will corroborate your willingness to want to donate. .

What is bone marrow transplantation?

It is the procedure that is carried out to replace the damaged bone marrow with healthy cells extracted from a healthy and compatible donor.

This procedure consists of the extraction of fatty and soft tissue that exists within the bones.

Frequent questions

What are Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells (HPC)?

These cells are responsible for producing:

  • Red Blood Cells, whose function is to transport oxygen to the tissues of the body.
  • White blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections in the body and work in immunological supervision
  • As well as the production of platelets; that contribute to the blood clotting process.

Who needs bone marrow donation?

The people who require the transplant are those who have been diagnosed with hematological diseases such as anemia, aplastic, leukemia, myeloma, lymphoma, some metabolic error or poor production of blood components. These diseases are combated with bone marrow transplantation.

How is the compatibility of the donation established?

To establish this compatibility, the histocompatibility system is used, which consists of genes that make up the system. Human Leukocyte Antigen. The different populations of the world contain many genetic variations and this makes it difficult to find the donor that perfectly matches a given patient.

Why are unrelated donors required?

This requirement is in accordance with the difficulties of finding the necessary compatibilities for each person in need of this transplant, the more people are willing to make this donation, a greater range of genetic codes will be covered, which can coincide with a patient who needs it.

Do you have side effects?

When it comes to donating medullary blood from the iliac crests (hip bone), which is done in the operating room and under general anaesthesia, the risks are exceptional, although infrequent:

  • Discomfort in the area where the needle is inserted, which subsides with mild analgesics and disappears in 24-48 hours (exceptionally it can last for a few days, but fortunately this discomfort does not reduce physical activity).
  • Perception of dizziness, especially when integrated by a certain degree of anemia that will disappear after a few hours.
  • Fever, sometimes a fever in the first hours after the donation. At home from an infection at the puncture site but fortunately this is unlikely.

The need to encourage more voluntary donors is to have a wide range of genetic code registries so that people in need of a transplant can have a large percentage of finding someone compatible.

If you want to belong to those people, you must be clear about what the Requirements to donate bone marrow and be able to do it without surprises. Save a life.
