What is the cost of tests for a pediatric bone marrow transplant?

For pediatric bone marrow transplant, tests include chest X-ray, blood tests, cardiac scan, PET scan, and bone marrow biopsy. After specifying the kind of bone marrow cells the child needs, the doctor determines which bone marrow test procedure to proceed with.

The medicine cost is included in the package when the child is at the hospital. If any prescription is taken from outside the hospital, it is not covered in the package. These medications are taken regularly orally or through an IV infusion, usually for several weeks to months.

How long the patient has to stay in the hospital after the pediatric bone marrow transplant?

Typically, the average stay in the hospital for a child is six to eight weeks. However, if you develop difficulties such as an infection, you may not be able to leave the hospital for longer. Post that, the child will have to visit the transplant center daily for several weeks, and various factors determine how long your recovery will take, such as your condition, a good donor match, chemotherapy, and radiation.
