National Marrow Donor Program
The Importance of Marrow Donation
At Sibel Blau, we understand the importance of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) in saving lives and offering hope to thousands of patients worldwide. The NMDP is a vital organization that connects patients in need of a marrow transplant with potential donors.
Marrow Donation Process
Are you interested in becoming a marrow donor? The process is straightforward and can greatly impact the life of someone fighting a debilitating illness. The NMDP oversees every step to ensure the safety and well-being of both donors and recipients.
Eligibility Criteria
To become a marrow donor, certain eligibility criteria must be met. While the requirements may vary, the general guidelines include:
- Being between the ages of 18 and 60
- Being in good overall health
- Not having certain medical conditions
- Being committed to the donation process
Registration and Match Process
The first step towards becoming a marrow donor is to join the NMDP registry. This involves filling out a registration form and providing a sample for tissue typing. The NMDP uses this information to match donors with patients in need.
If a potential match is found, further testing is conducted to determine compatibility. If you are chosen as a donor, the NMDP will guide you through the process, addressing any concerns or questions you may have.
