<STRONG>I think your intention is good but you just cannot lie about the facts. You should let potential donors to know about the pontential downsides before they can make up their own thoughts. </STRONG><BR><STRONG></STRONG> <BR><STRONG>Are there any risks to marrow donation? </STRONG><BR>A: We want to assure donor safety, but no medical procedure is risk-free. The majority (more than 98.5%) of donors from the Be The Match Registry feel completely recovered within a few weeks. A small percentage (1.34%) of donors experience a serious complication due to anesthesia or damage to bone, nerve or muscle in their hip region.<BR><BR>The risk of side effects of anesthesia during marrow donation is similar to that during other surgical procedures. Serious side effects of anesthesia are rare. Common side effects of general anesthesia include sore throat (caused by the breathing tube) or mild nausea and vomiting. Common side effects of regional anesthesia are a decrease in blood pressure and a headache after the procedure. <BR>We take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the donor.
