Allogeneic Transplant
BMT Phase

Possible Side Effects

The Transplant Process  
Possible Side Effects  

Patients do not generally experience any significant side effects from the actual bone marrow infusion. Some people develop chills, rashes, a fast pulse rate, or high blood pressure. However, each of these symptoms is carefully monitored and treated as necessary.

A nurse will be in the room for the entire transplant and a doctor will be present for the beginning and then available on the unit for the remainder of the transplant.
