Why Manipal Hospitals?

Because a Transplant Is Never Just One Day

 

Organ failure rarely announces itself all at once. It's a gradual conversation between symptoms, tests, and decisions. Choosing the right transplant partner means choosing a team that's present for all of it:

The Before — Comprehensive evaluation, organ-matching, donor workup, and honest counselling on every option available, medical and surgical.

The During — Advanced surgical technique, robotic and minimally invasive options where applicable, and critical care protocols built around patient and donor safety.

The After — Structured recovery plans, immunosuppression management, and rehabilitation support for the recipient.

And Ever After — Lifelong follow-up, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and continued monitoring for both recipient and living donor — because two lives deserve equal, ongoing care.

Why do you need a Bone Marrow Transplantation?

  • When you undergo high doses of chemotherapy or radiation, your bone marrow gets damaged. A bone marrow transplant helps replace or rescue your damaged bone marrow.

  • Your damaged bone marrow can be replaced with new healthy stem cells.

  • The new stem cells will help kill the cancer cells directly.

Risks involved in a Bone Marrow Transplantation

  • Fever with chills

  • Headache

  • Nausea

  • Hives

  • Pain

  • Shortness of breath

  • Chest pain

  • Low blood pressure

  • Funny taste in the mouth

Complications of a Bone Marrow Transplantation

  • Anaemia

  • Cataract

  • Bleeding in lungs, brain, intestines, and other parts of the body

  • Early menopause

  • Failure to accept the donor stem cells

  • Pain

  • Inflammation and soreness of throat, mouth, oesophagus, and stomach

  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea

How to prepare for the Bone Marrow Transplantation?

Before the bone marrow transplantation

  • You will undergo certain tests to assess your overall health for the procedure.
  • Long thin tubes (intravenous catheters) will be inserted into the vein in your chest or neck.
  • This central line catheter will remain in place for the entire medical treatment.
  • The stem cells will be infused through this central line.

Conditioning process

Before you start your transplant procedure, you will go through the conditioning process. You undergo chemotherapy and radiation to:

  • Destroy the cancer cells

  • Suppress your immune system

  • Make your bone marrow ready to accept new stem cells

During the bone marrow transplantation

Once the conditioning process is complete, your bone marrow transplant procedure begins. The stem cells are infused through the central line into your body. The infusion is painless, and you will be awake during the entire procedure.

After the bone marrow transplantation

  • The new stem cells will enter your body and travel through the blood to your bone marrow.

  • These cells then multiply and produce new, healthy blood cells.

  • You will be kept under medical care for close observation. 

  • Any complication will be managed at the hospital.

  • Periodic transfusions of red blood cells and platelets will help support your bone marrow in producing its own cells. 

Lifestyle changes

After the bone marrow transplantation, you will need to adjust your diet and modify your lifestyle. The dietary changes are made to manage your gastric side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. These changes include:

  • Eating healthy and nutritious food.

  • Include safe foods in your diet that are cooked in clean surroundings to avoid foodborne infections.

  • Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, poultry, fish, legumes, and healthy fats for improving your immunity.

  • Reduce your salt intake.

  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.

  • Maintain your body weight.

  • Include physical activity to control your body weight, strengthen your bones, muscles, and increase your endurance. 

FAQ's

Bone marrow is a spongy tissue inside your bones that makes blood cells. A bone marrow transplant is a procedure to replace the blood-forming cells (stem cells). First, the patient receives chemotherapy, radiation, or both, to kill cancer cells and healthy cells in the bone marrow. Then, the patient receives new stem cells through an IV. The new stem cells make healthy blood cells. To know more about the procedure, visit our bone marrow transplant hospital in Bangalore.

Your specialist evaluates organ function through advanced diagnostics, clinical assessments, and medical history to determine if transplantation is the necessary path when medical management can no longer maintain safe organ function.

Manipal’s Beyond Transplant program is about supporting both the patient and the donor throughout the entire healthcare journey—long before and long after the surgery. Every enquiry is handled with speed, clarity, empathy, and precise clinical guidance to connect families with the appropriate transplant specialists.

Recovery begins with a structured hospital stay followed by lifelong follow-up care, specialized immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, and regular monitoring to ensure both the recipient and the new organ thrive.
