Bone Marrow Biopsy

The bone marrow is where the blood cells are made.  A bone marrow biopsy involves taking a sample of bone marrow, usually from the hip bone to see how well the bone marrow is functioning.  Bone marrow biopsies are performed in the Haematology Day Ward and are part of the diagnostic tool for a number of conditions including leukaemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, pancytopenia and anaemia.

Bone marrow biopsies are performed in the Haematology Day Ward usually with sedation so it is essential you have someone to collect you after the procedure.
