Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transfusion (“Transplantation”)

More specific qualifier values describing transfusion of stem cells, bone marrow and other substances have been added to differentiate types of nonautologous cells infused during bone marrow and stem cell transplantation procedures. From To Qualifier Qualifier 0 Autologous 0 Autologous 1 Nonautologous 2 Allogeneic, Related   3 Allogeneic, Unrelated   4 Allogeneic, Unspecified Autologous bone marrow and stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own body prior to transplantation.
