Donation Process

There are two types of donations that can help patients with blood diseases, Bone Marrow Donation and Peripheral Blood Cell (PBSC) Donation.

Bone Marrow Donation is a painless out-patient surgical procedure where liquid marrow is removed from the donor’s pelvic bones with a needle. General or local anesthesia is applied and the only discomfort the donor endures is soreness in the area post surgery. Donors do not lose anything permanently from this procedure, bone marrow replenishes within a few weeks.

PBSC Donation is a nonsurgical procedure where blood is removed from the donor’s arm, it is separated in a machine where certain blood-forming cells are taken and the remaining blood is returned through the other arm. Like marrow donation, your cells replenish and normal levels return in weeks of donation.
