Hematology
Bone marrow evaluation
A procedure to examine bone marrow directly, used when blood tests alone can't explain a blood disorder.
When this is typically needed
- Unexplained abnormal blood counts
- Suspected blood cancer
- Evaluating cause of severe anemia
What it involves
A small sample is taken from the hip bone under local anesthesia — brief discomfort, done as an outpatient procedure.
What to expect
Results typically take several days to a week, given the detailed lab analysis involved.
