What is BONE MARROW BIOPSY?
A Bone Marrow Biopsy involves taking a small solid piece of bone marrow tissue, typically from the hip bone, using a special needle. This tissue sample provides a comprehensive view of the bone marrow's structure and cellularity.
Why is this test important?
This biopsy is vital for diagnosing a wide range of blood and bone marrow conditions, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, and aplastic anemia. It offers more detailed information than aspiration alone, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
How to Prepare
Follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding fasting, medication adjustments, or other preparations before the procedure.
