Donor
General Guidance
In general, donors undergoing a bone marrow collection run the risk of exacerbating pre-existing mechanical back conditions due to the shearing forces applied to the lower back and pelvis during the procedure. However, many such donors may donate by PBSC.
Defer in the following cases
Donors with non-mechanical inflammatory back conditions (eg associated with autoimmune disease)
Any donor receiving regular steroid injections to the spine
Any donor with a back condition which may physically prohibit the donor transferring to an apheresis couch, or lying in an apheresis couch for at least four hours (venous access is not permitted in a wheelchair), or a back condition which might compromise the safety of the donor or staff during collection
Individual Guidance
Back complaints should be considered in the subgroups below
Recruitment - Accept
VT - Accept for PBSC only. Can consider BMH on case-by-case basis following discussion with MO.
Severe chronic back pain. Impacts on activities of daily living
Recruitment - Defer
VT - Defer
History of current or past herniated (bulging) intevertebral disc
Recruitment - Accept for PBSC only
VT - Accept for PBSC only
History of back surgery
Defer if less than 4 months from date of surgery.
Donor must be fully recovered from surgery
Recruitment - Accept for PBSC only
VT - Accept for PBSC Only
Scoliosis
Discuss case-by-case with MO.
Recruitment - If previous surgery and now asymptomatic allow donation for PBSC only.
VT - If previous surgery and now asymptomatic allow donation for PBSC only.
History of fracture, dislocation or instability
Recruitment - Accept for PBSC only provided does not meet criteria for severe chronic back pain
VT - Accept for PBSC only provided does not meet criteria for severe chronic back pain
