What is cord blood

  UMBILICAL CORD


Cord blood is used as an umbrella term for the many cells that are stored because it is

associated with cord blood banks. It may surprise you to learn that red blood cells (RBCs) are

detrimental to cord blood treatment because they contain very few. In Europe and other parts

of the world, cord blood banks are referred to as stem cell banks. This term may be more

appropriate because cord blood preservation is intended for the collection of hematopoietic

stem cells. The umbilical cord and its blood were considered medical waste before the 1990s.

Today, parents store or store their babies' cord blood. Because the stem cells it contains are

used or show promise in treating life-threatening and debilitating conditions.




Umbilical cord blood is obtained from the umbilical cord at birth and poses no risk to the

mother or baby. For this reason, it is advisable to collect and store the baby's cord blood

during pregnancy.





How much does the storage of cord blood cost?

It's a factor. Most cord blood banks charge a one-time fee of $1,000 to $2,000 for cord blood

collection, processing, and storage. The cost of the cord blood collection kit, the medical

courier service used to help with the safe shipment of the kit. Testing of the mother's blood for

infectious diseases, and testing of the baby's blood for contamination.






After that, continuous storage of the baby's birthday costs $100-$200 per year. Stem cells and

other immune system cells cannot be given to everyone because the job of the immune system

is to find and drop suspicious invaders. It can attack its own body. Graft-versus-host disease

(Had) is a serious problem after transplantation.
