中心酌收取髓成本費用為新臺幣11萬3,735元,包括支付捐贈者身體檢查2萬元以及捐贈前抽取自備血、用藥、住院抽髓、健保無給付之醫療費、保險費、病房費、交通費……等相關費用,低於全球各骨髓庫收費標準(如附註1)。
通常捐贈者未如期抽取造血幹細胞主要是因為移植醫院通知病人病情有變化,因故延期,待病人病情穩定後,再由移植醫院向慈濟骨髓幹細胞中心另約取髓時間。目前依照全球通則造血幹細胞分離後,必須在四十八小時內完成移植,主要是因為時間延長,會造成幹細胞存活率下降,且可能有細菌感染的風險,目前國際慣例不建議冰凍保存。(如附註2)
若捐贈者已完成身體檢查,卻因受贈者病情變化無法完成捐贈,則由已配對病患支付2萬元健檢費用。
對於無法負擔取髓費用的受贈者病患,慈濟基金會皆會全力協助。申請流程簡易,只需由移植醫院向慈濟骨髓庫申請配對時,告知病患同意接受慈濟基金會關懷,慈濟志工隨即排程訪視病患,並進行補助評估;將十方大德的愛心,用在最需要的地方。
至於有關招募捐贈者、驗血、檢驗、資料處理和儲存、行政流程等費用,全數由中心支付。同時,中心提供捐贈者的捐後長達十年的健康追蹤,相關費用也由中心支付。因此,從建立資料庫至完成配對與捐贈,每例成本超過一百萬元新臺幣。

How is the transplant carried out ?
Generally, the haematopoietic stem cells are injected 24-48 hours after the end of the preparation procedure.
The bone marrow is transplanted into the patient by intravenous injection, like a transfusion, as soon as possible after collection (between 12 and 36 hours).
In rare cases, frozen stem cells are thawed by immersing them in sterile water at 37°C and immediately injected into the patient’s blood.
How is the bone marrow transported ?
Bone marrow does not keep for long. It is therefore transferred from the donor to the patient as quickly as possible (between 12 and 36 hours).
Generally, after collection, the bone marrow is maintained at ambient temperature during its transfer to the place of transplantation. If the journey is too long, it may be refrigerated at 4°C.
Under specific circumstances, the bone marrow cells may be frozen for reasons purely connected with logistics’ difficulties.

Granulocytes (Neutrophils)
Description - Granulocytes (neutrophils) are obtained by an apheresis procedure from an ABO-Rh compatible donor. Since there are large numbers of red cells in granulocyte concentrates, compatibility testing must be performed between the donor unit and the recipient. Granulocyte concentrates from donors who have been stimulated by G-CSF, a practice currently under study, contain much larger numbers of leukocytes. Granulocyte concentrates are always irradiated to prevent graft versus host disease. Granulocytes should be administered as soon as possible after collection. If this is not possible, storage should be at room temperature for no longer than 24 hours after collection. A four hour expiration time is placed on the granulocytes once issued from the Blood center.
Indications - Granulocytes should be considered for patients with severe neutropenia (<200/µl) and a documented life-threatening bacterial or fungal infection not responsive to appropriate antibiotic therapy. Additional indications include neonates with clinical sepsis and patients with infections who have neutrophil function defects. After granulocyte therapy is initiated, it is generally continued once daily until the infection clears or the neutrophil count begins to recover.
Therapeutic Effect - Even though there may be a clinical effect, there may not be an increase in the recipient’s neutrophil count.
