Biopsy Cost

The tissues found inside bones are known as bone marrow. White blood cells (WBC), Red Blood Cells(RBC) and platelets are produced by cells present in bone marrow which are extremely instrumental for smooth functioning of body. Likewise, biopsy for the bone marrow is done for identifying diseases or infections in your bone marrow.

Diseases of bone marrow can cause long-term health concerns. A low red blood cells count, leukopenia, leukemia, iron build up in the blood are few disorders affecting one's bone marrow. So a bone marrow biopsy is a must for judging if the patient has any underlying symptoms of bone marrow malfunctioning or problems. Biopsy is done under a local anesthetic, post which a needle is passed through your rear hipbone for extracting a cylinder shaped sample of bone marrow.
