Why Should I Choose To Have A Bone Marrow Aspiration Needle Procedure? Is It Dangerous?

Diseases in which the hematopoietic cells or tissues, blood cells, and hemostatic system are abnormal are called hematologic diseases. Blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, are derived from hematopoietic cells and tissues. In adults, hematopoietic cells and tissues are mainly found in the bone marrow; in some special cases, the liver and spleen are also involved in hematopoiesis. Bone marrow examination is one of the most important tests for blood disorders. Because hematopoietic cells are mainly found in the bone marrow, many blood disorders (especially in the early stages), blood tests do not reflect the status of the disease very well. The diagnosis, treatment outcome and prognosis of many blood disorders are determined by examining bone marrow cells. Bone marrow cells or tissues can be extracted for morphological analysis, chemical staining of blood cells, karyotype examination, immunological examination, genetic analysis, stem cell culture, electron microscopy, pathological tissue examination, etc. To obtain bone marrow cells or tissues, bone puncture or biopsy is required. Bone marrow cell morphology is currently the most valuable test for the diagnosis of hematopoietic diseases, such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, aplastic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, etc.; to observe the efficacy and prognosis of diseases; bone marrow examination is also used to diagnose non-hematopoietic diseases, such as parasitic infections (malaria, black fever), metabolic diseases (Gaucher's disease, Niemann-Pick's disease, etc.), and other diseases. Bone marrow examination is also used for the diagnosis of non-hematopoietic diseases such as parasitic infections (malaria, black fever), metabolic diseases (Gaucher's disease, Niemann-Pick disease), metastatic cancer of the bone marrow, clinical examination of unexplained fever, cachexia, unexplained enlargement of the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, skeletal pain, single or multiple unexplained decreases and increases in peripheral blood cells, and sometimes biopsy and multi-site bone marrow examination are required. In some diseases, the pathological changes in the bone marrow are focal and a single bone marrow aspiration can only reflect the bone marrow function or pathological condition at the site of the aspiration. It cannot reflect the overall condition of the bone marrow. In addition to cytological changes in the bone marrow, the diagnosis of certain diseases also requires knowledge of changes in the bone marrow tissue structure. In addition, pathological examination in combination with bone marrow biopsy is required for cases such as bone marrow dry aspiration. Pathological examination in combination with a bone marrow biopsy needle. A bone marrow aspiration needle or biopsy is a very simple and safe operation, i.e., a local anesthetic is applied to a raised bone such as the anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, or sternal stalk, and then a bone marrow aspiration needle or biopsy needle is used to extract some bone marrow blood or take a small piece of tissue for examination, which can be done quickly. Blood can be produced in many bones throughout the body, and the extraction of a small amount of bone marrow blood or a small piece of bone marrow tissue is insignificant and does not affect the body in any way. We have not had a single case of complications during bone puncture. If a patient has a previous medical or family history of excessive bleeding, or a history of drug allergies, tell the doctor before the puncture. Some people worry that bone puncture may hurt the body or even endanger life; some people treat bone marrow and spinal cord as the same organ and therefore treat bone marrow puncture as spinal cord puncture, which is wrong.
