Is there a treatment that cures aplastic anemia?

A bone marrow transplant is the only cure for aplastic anemia. Bone marrow transplants are also called stem cell transplants. A transplant is the preferred treatment for severe aplastic anemia.

Bone marrow transplants replace damaged stem cells with healthy ones. The healthy stem cells may come from:

• Donated bone marrow.
• Peripheral stem cells (stem cells that providers remove and treat before transplanting).
• Umbilical cord blood.
