The bone marrow biopsy: Its crucial role in evaluating various hematological disorders
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2016, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are procedures used to evaluate the blood cells within the bone marrow, as well as its structure. These are not routine tests, however they are useful in helping to detect, diagnose, monitor and/or stage a number of diseases and conditions that can affect the bone marrow and blood cell production. Aims and Objectives: To the evaluate bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy findings in detection of haematological disorders and to compare and correlate the bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy findings. Materials and methods: The present study was done in the Department of Pathology, Yenepoya Medical College, Mangalore for evaluation of various haematological conditions from June 2012 to June 2016 are included. Sample size: 100. Results: In present study out of 100 cases, majority of the patients were male (61%) and females were 39%. The mean age of the patients is 44.39 with standard deviation(SD) ±18.09. In our study bone marrow biopsy of most of the patients show reactive marrow. followed by megaloblastic anemia(12%) and chronic myeloid leukemia(11%). Conclusions: Bone marrow aspirations and bone marrow biopsies are complementary modalities. Bone marrow aspiration smears provides good morphological details/cytologic diagnosis.
