Bone Marrow Transplant Risks Explained by Kapil Negi is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Bone marrow transplants (BMTs) can be life-saving but come with significant risks that are often not fully communicated to patients. The BMT process includes conditioning, stem cell infusion, engraftment, and recovery, with success rates varying between 60% to 90% depending on the type of transplant. Risks include infections, organ damage, and graft-versus-host disease, as illustrated by the story of Elijah John, who received a transplant from a registered donor after battling leukemia.
