Cord Blood Banking - It's Worth the Investment
The AABB, the American Associaion of Blood Banks, reported today that mismatched cord blood can benefit children as follows:
"A U.S. study found that an umbilical cord blood transplant from an unrelated or mismatched donor could work in children with malignant and nonmalignant conditions without adding complications. Using unrelated cord blood for transplant also could result in more matches for patients, particularly those from ethnic minority groups, the researchers said. The findings suggest that "unrelated cord blood transplant should be considered as an option for many of our young patients in need of a transplant," the lead researcher said. "
Sounds like banking cord blood when your baby is born, whether by you or a gestational carrier, is a good option all the way around for your child, as well as any siblings or other family members.
