Let's take a look at the cost of different bone marrow transplants.

For your reference, below we have discussed the cost of bone marrow transplants in India.  Here is an estimated bone marrow transplantation cost in India on the basis of its types. (depending on the recommendation of your consulting oncologist):

Types of BMT

BMT Cost In India
(INR and Dollar)

Autologous Bone marrow transplant₹15,00,000 - ₹17,00,000 ($21,013 - $23,652)
Allogeneic Bone marrow transplant₹25,00,000 - ₹30,00,000 ($35,022 - $42,027)
Haplo-Allogeneic Bone marrow transplant₹35,00,000 - ₹40,00,000 ($49,031 - $56,036)

*To be on the safer side, be prepared for a 5% to 10% variation on the estimated cost depending on your condition. The charges encompass various expenses related to hospitalization, such as the duration of the stay, the fees of the surgeon, the cost of the operation theater, the charges for anesthesia, and the provision of meals for both the patient and one accompanying person.

You might be curious about why the cost of bone marrow transplants in India varies for different types of procedures.

Let's explore the key factors that contribute to this variation.

Autologous Bone marrow transplantYour own bone marrow is used for this type of transplant.
Autologous costs are less as compared to allogeneic transplants.
Allogeneic Bone marrow transplantBone marrow from a 10/10 HLA matching donor (preferably a sibling) is used for this type of transplant.

Cost is higher when it comes to allogeneic because here you have to pay not only for yourself but also for your donor when it comes to tests, facilities, lab works, etc.
Haplo-Allogeneic (Haploidentical) Bone marrow transplantWhen bone marrow is used from a donor (your children, parents, sibling) that has a partial HLA match to you.

Cost is even higher in Haplo-Allogeneic transplant as the procedure is a lot more complicated so the cost and number of tests increases.

What could be the additional costs of BMT?

If you’re thinking of bone marrow transplant costs in India or anywhere else in the world, be prepared to shell out money for post- and pre-transplant facilities. You have to additionally pay for facilities such as tests, chemotherapy, post-transplant monitoring, etc.

We have carefully created an extensive guide that covers all the additional services that you might be charged for during your blood cancer treatment in India. This will help you be fully prepared for your time there. This will help you navigate any potential charges without any surprising moments.

First, we want to discuss all the costs that come under the pre-bone marrow transplant stage:

In a bone marrow transplant, the body's damaged or destroyed blood cells are replaced with new, healthy blood cells. This medical process is also known as a stem cell transplant. Bone marrow cancer treatment in India is available for certain types of cancers, like leukemia, multiple myeloma and some types of lymphoma. Stem cell transplant cost in India is approximately INR 1,49,000 (USD 2,000) for one cycle.

In the pre-bone marrow transplant stage, you will go through steps that are essential preparations for the bone marrow transplant procedure. This is the most critical stage, as it lays the foundation for the treatment.

Following is a complete guide to not only all the necessary steps you will have to take before the bone marrow transplant but also discusses the costs you will incur during this stage:

You should consider the pre- and post-transplant costs to make an accurate estimation of overall costs.

For your convenience, we have elaborated on each and every step of the pre-bone marrow transplant costs below:

Pre-bone marrow transplant cost in India:

Pre-procedure check-up tests and treatments

Cost Estimation

Health checkup

Physical examination and health check-up with an oncologist in India might cost around ₹600 ($8) - ₹5000($70)

All investigations

There are a number of investigations that will be required like a blood test, PFTs and RVG for the heart, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Chest and Dental X-ray, etc which will set you back by around ₹55,892 ($800) to ₹69,865 ($1000)

HLA typing
(if required)

HLA typing is only required in cases of an allogeneic/haploidentical transplant, which costs around ₹80,000 ($1,112.53) additionally.

Chemotherapy

Cost of chemotherapy is approximately ₹1,04,797 ($1,500) to ₹1,25,077 ($1,800) per chemo cycle.

You may also have to pay for Induction chemotherapy which will cost you approximately ₹1,38,974 ($2000) to ₹2,08,462 ($3,000).

Radiation Therapy/ Radiotherapy

A rough estimate of the cost for Radiation treatment based on the procedure or technique can range between ₹1,66,770 ($2,400) to ₹4,86,955 ($7,000) depending on the package.

Donor fees
(if required)

In the case of Allogeneic transplant, there are a number of tests and expenses related to the extraction of stem cells. This is more expensive in a haploidentical transplant. So we have to consider stem cell transplant costs in India or the country in which the treatment is going on.

Medication

Medication is prescribed for your recovery.

Pre - operations cost

Pre-operations cost, medication costs, documentation costs etc.

What costs come with the post-bone marrow transplant stage?

Once you are done with the transplant, the work is not finished. Various measures are implemented to closely track the advancement of transplantation in a patient, ensuring a swift recovery and mitigating the risk of infection.

But in cases of unforeseen situations, unanticipated monitoring, extended stays, etc., requirements will be charged separately. This is not included in the transplant cost, and hence it comes under the post-transplant stage.

For your convenience, we have elaborated on each and every step of the post-bone marrow transplant costs below:

Post-Bone Marrow Transplant Cost in India:

Monitoring and requirements
Medications costThere will be many expensive medicines prescribed to you after the transplant.
Any additional service availedAny extended hospital stay and use of services
Other consultationAny other consultation with your doctor and other consultations.
Complications management and unanticipated careThe cost of monitoring and treatment for complications management and unanticipated care is separate from the transplant cost.

If for any reason you have stayed beyond the stipulated period, you will be charged separately.
Follow - up costsAfter the transplant, you will have to follow up with your doctor regularly for your health check-up.

The cost of bone marrow transplant is less if compared to other medically advanced nations.

India

The reasons for variations in costs between India and other developed countries are:

1. Currency: Basically, the Indian currency is lower than the USD, pounds, euro, etc. So obviously, everything is cost-effective here.

2. Standard of living: The standard of living is quite lower in India than the other developed countries such as the USA. So the prices of facilities in the fields of transport, overall stay, food, and medical treatment are cost-effective.

3. Competition: There are many bone marrow transplant centers in India, so you have a wider choice according to your budget of hospitals of your choosing.

4. Hospitals: India is the preferred destination for transplantation due to its renowned hospitals, which house exceptionally skilled hematologists and oncologists specializing in bone marrow transplants (BMT). A few government-run hospitals also offer free bone marrow transplants in India, or they offer their services at very nominal costs.

5. Doctor: Basically, here in India the doctors charge less compared to doctors in the other developed countries. However, the charges of doctors may vary according to their popularity, experience, and the hospitals where they practice.

There are a few other reasons why getting bone marrow transplants in India is a good option.

While blood cancer treatment in India is notably affordable compared to other developed nations, it is crucial to understand that Indian hospitals never compromise on the paramount aspects of quality and expertise.

An ESR reading of 50 might mean there is some kind of inflammation in the body. Possible infections, autoimmune diseases, or even a few cancers can be the cause of this. Typical symptoms of inflammation include fever, fatigue, and aching of the body. To handle this, it is necessary to identify the main reason by doing other tests and talking to a doctor.

When you find some blood in mucus, it can indicate several ailments. Possible reasons could be a nosebleed, irritation by dry air, or an infection such as sinusitis. If you are facing a runny nose, pain in your face, or a sore throat, that could be a sign of an infection.

Female | 21

Red mucus is often a sign of bleeding in certain areas of your body, such as the nose, throat, or stomach. If it’s coming from your mouth, it could be related to a lung issue. This might be caused by an infection, irritation, or a more serious condition like pneumonia. It's important to see a doctor for an evaluation. They may run tests such as blood work, X-rays, or a bronchoscopy to identify the cause. Treatment for the bleeding will depend on its source, so it's best to get checked as soon as possible.

What if iron readings are normal except % transferring saturation - 12% and result shows disease Ferritin transferring TIBC Iron. Hb - 11 for female

Female | 32

This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.

Low blood volume, or anemia, can cause fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. Possible reasons include chronic blood loss, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions. It's important to increase your iron intake through diet—consider foods like spinach, meat, and beans. Staying hydrated is also vital. However, given your symptoms and recent diagnosis, I strongly recommend following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and a tailored treatment plan.
