Biopsy and Aspiration

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are crucial procedures used to evaluate the health of your bone marrow—the soft, spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are produced. These tests help diagnose and monitor blood disorders, cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, and assess how well your body is responding to treatment.

Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration are not only used for detecting cancers—they are also essential tools in diagnosing and managing various non-cancerous (benign) blood disorders. These procedures help uncover the underlying causes of unexplained blood abnormalities and guide appropriate treatment.

What is a Biopsy and Aspiration?

Bone Marrow Aspiration involves removing a small sample of the liquid portion of the marrow, usually from the back of the hip bone. Bone Marrow Biopsy involves taking a small core of solid bone marrow tissue from the same site to examine cell structure and marrow architecture.

A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration provide vital insights that help guide your treatment journey. With expert care and precise evaluation, this procedure empowers your medical team—led by specialists like Dr. Arijit Bishnu—to tailor therapies that are most effective and appropriate for your condition :
Medical History Review: Understanding your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to assess any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the menstrual issues.

Unexplained Anemia - To determine if the marrow is producing enough red blood cells or if there's an underlying issue like aplastic anemia.

Low White Blood Cell or Platelet Counts - Evaluating causes of leukopenia, neutropenia, or thrombocytopenia when routine tests are inconclusive.

Nutritional Deficiencies - To assess marrow changes related to vitamin B12, folate, or iron deficiency when symptoms persist despite supplementation.

Medications -
Iron supplements: For iron deficiency anemia.
Vitamin B12 and folate supplements: For vitamin deficiency anemias.
Growth factros: To stimulate blood cell production in conditions like cytopenia
Immunosuppressants: For autoimmune hemolytic anemia or aplastic anemia.
Corticosteroids: For immune-mediated disorders like ITP or autoimmune anemias.
Anticoagulants (blood thinners): Like warfarin, heparin, or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) to prevent or treat blood clots (DVT, PE).
Antiplatelet drugs: Like aspirin or clopidogrel to prevent blood clots in certain situations.
Clotting factor concentrates: For hemophilia and other bleeding disorders.

Unexplained Fevers or Infections - Investigating bone marrow involvement in chronic infections or immune-related conditions.
