bone marrow analysis

Bone marrow analysis involves examining a small sample of the soft tissue inside bones, typically from the hip, to assess blood cell production. It helps diagnose blood disorders, infections, or cancers like leukemia. The sample is obtained with a needle, then examined under a microscope and tested in the lab. This process provides information about the types and numbers of blood cells produced, the presence of abnormal or cancerous cells, and overall marrow health. It’s a valuable tool for doctors to understand blood-related conditions and guide appropriate treatment.
