Description
A bone marrow biopsy helps diagnose blood disorders, cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, and unexplained anemia or infections; in China, the procedure typically costs ¥1,000–¥2,000, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting with hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Bone marrow biopsies are primarily used for diagnosing and staging hematologic malignancies (like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma), evaluating unexplained cytopenias, assessing iron stores, and monitoring treatment response in patients with known hematologic conditions.
Normal Range
A bone marrow biopsy normal range typically includes: Adequate cellularity for the patient's age, a myeloid to erythroid (M:E) ratio of about 2-4:1, and no abnormal cells or infiltration. The specific values can vary based on the laboratory and the patient's age.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low bone marrow cellularity can be caused by: Aplastic anemia, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, certain viral infections like parvovirus B19, and some autoimmune diseases.
High Values - Possible Causes
High bone marrow cellularity or abnormal findings may be due to: Leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, metastatic cancer, and myeloproliferative disorders such as polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia.
