Bone Marrow Transplant for Sickle Cell Disease

Treated by Dr. Nivedita Dhingra , Max Super Speciality Hospital, Patparganj

Feb 23, 2024

Master Charles was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease in his native country, Kenya, owing to which he had several hospital visits since early infancy. The condition had stunted his development besides causing immense pain and anaemia. With the hope of better treatment, the family travelled to India and consulted Dr. Nivedita Dhingra, Principal Consultant, Haematology-Oncology, Max Hospital, Patparganj, Delhi, India, who evaluated the child and advised bone marrow transplant as the best treatment option available. For Master Charles, her sister was the donor (half matched). Despite being half matched, the procedure was uneventful and resulted in a particularly good outcome. The child is free of any infections and pain and is ready to return home.
