KIMS successfully conducts first Allogeneic Donor Bone Marrow Transplant

Bhubaneswar, June 4 (UNI) In a major achievement, doctors at the Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) have successfully performed a rare allogeneic bone marrow transplant on a
17-year-old female patient diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
The patient, who has a rare genetic blood disorder, had been undergoing cancer chemotherapy for six months before being considered for the transplant.
The procedure was an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, in which healthy bone marrow from a donor is infused into the patient.
In this case, the donor was the patient’s brother. The transplant was challenging due to the rarity of the disorder and the complex preparation involved, but it was carried out successfully by the expert team at KIMS.
This is one of the rare cases of an allogeneic bone marrow transplant being performed for HLH in Odisha, marking a significant medical milestone for the state.
This success offers new hope to patients in Odisha who previously had to travel to other states for such advanced treatment.
The procedure at KIMS was conducted at a much lower cost, making it more accessible for many families. It was significantly less expensive compared to private hospitals outside the state.
Additionally, the procedure was covered under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, reducing the financial burden on the patient’s family.
Dr Biswajit Bhuyan from the Department of Haematology and Dr. Palash Das from the Department of Paediatric Haematology at KIMS led the transplant.
The Department of Haematology at KIMS has been consistently treating critical cases of blood cancers and other blood disorders.
KIIT and KISS Founder Dr. Achyuta Samanta has hailed the achievement, lauding the doctors and wishing the patient a long and healthy life.
