Introduction to Bone Marrow Evaluation

After Marrow Evaluation

  • After the marrow is evaluated, the diagnosis is established and extent of the disease is determined. Follow up bone marrow examinations may be needed to monitor changes in the marrow following treatment or when signs and symptoms of relapse occur.

  • To summarize, a bone marrow examination can provide valuable information to aid in the diagnosis of a variety of disorders. Due to the expense involved and the discomfort to the patient, clear indications of need should be present before this examination is undertaken.
