Aplastic anemia can take effect at any age, usually, it occurs suddenly. Cord Blood therapy is becoming the preferred choice for the treatment of aplastic anemia, because of adaptable stem cells it holds.

Currently, cord blood stem cells are using for the treatment of Severe Aplastic Anemia following acute liver failure and issues with liver transplantations.

At Mycord, we believe that umbilical cord blood stem cells can provide a viable and successful cure for this disorder. With your one time decision of banking your child’s cord blood, you can increase your chances of finding a better alternative for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia.

Severe aplastic anemia is a life-threatening condition, which needs to be treated at the early stages. It has also been stated that the disease probably occurs in up to 28% of recipients of orthotopic liver transplants. Children with aplastic anemia have been successfully treated with cord blood after unsuccessful liver transplantations.

Here, we state the first case of autologous cord blood transplantation for the treatment of severe aplastic anemia after a botched liver transplantation of a 20-month-old boy. He was suffering from a fulminant hepatic failure after an unsuccessful liver transplantation surgery. he was given a second chance in life after the doctors performed another transplantation from his haploidentical father. The patient had evolved pancytopenia three months later (white blood cells

Using the patient’s own cord blood, which was stored at the time of his birth, the doctors decided to perform an autologous cord blood transplant, in an effort to restore normal hematopoiesis. A Nunc vial storing cord blood was thawed to confirm that it was HLA identical to the patient. The patient was given a preparative regimen for 4 days, as directed by the doctors. There was a significant increase in white blood cells by day 11 and platelet engraftment by day 14. The doctors noticed remarkable recovery in the patient’s condition, except for a skin biopsy positive for Aspergillus spp, which was treated with antifungal agents.

After about 3 years of follow up treatments, the patient remains on immunosuppressive therapy because of the botched transplantation surgery but on the other hand, he is in a complete hematologic absolution with a completely normal blood count.
