PICC, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
Bone Marrow Test in Whitefield, Bangalore
Peripherally inserted central catheter insertion (PICC), bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
A PICC is a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a vein in the upper arm and guided into a large vein above the right side of the heart called the superior vena cava. It is used to give intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, chemotherapy, and other drugs. Bone marrow aspiration is the removal of a small amount of this tissue in liquid form for examination.

Solutions for bone marrow aspiration
A bone marrow aspiration removes only the marrow. This type of test is done to find the reason for many blood disorders and may be used to find out if cancer or infection has spread to the bone marrow. Bone marrow aspiration removes a small amount of bone marrow fluid and cells through a needle put into a bone.
Complexities of bone marrow aspiration
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are usually done together. Some of the risks include tenderness or pain, bleeding or bruising at the biopsy site, and redness or swelling.
