Description
Bone Marrow Aspiration is a diagnostic procedure that involves collecting a sample of bone marrow, usually from the hip bone, for microscopic examination. This test is crucial for evaluating the production and maturation of blood cells, diagnosing blood disorders, and assessing certain cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. During the procedure, a hollow needle is inserted into the bone to withdraw a small amount of liquid bone marrow. The sample is then examined under a microscope to assess cell types, numbers, and any abnormalities. This test can reveal problems with blood cell production, infiltration of the bone marrow by cancer cells, or the presence of other diseases affecting the bone marrow. It’s often performed alongside a bone marrow biopsy for a more comprehensive evaluation.
