Abstract
Background: Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and bone marrow biopsy (BMB) are necessary to diagnose bone marrow pathology. Bone marrow examination helps to find out information about hemopoietic tissue in various conditions. Aim and objectives: To analyse the cause of haematological, non-haematological disorders and to interpret the bone marrow findings with various conditions. Methods: A study of 51 patients over a period of one year (January 2023 to December 2023) was done in Central Clinical Laboratory (CCL), Pathology, PDU Medical College and Hospital, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Three modalities peripheral smear(PS), BMA, and BMB were used for diagnosing haematological and non-haematological disorders were included in the study. Results: Out of 51 cases studied 30(58.82%) were male and 21(41.1.3%) were female with age group ranging from 3 to 75 years. In both aspiration and biopsy most common findings were megaloblastic anaemia 17 (33.3%), Normochromic normocytic anaemia 2(4 %), Hypochromic microcytic anaemia 13(25.5%), Pancytopenia 3(6%), Dimorphic anaemia 3(6%), Myeloproliferative disorder 1(1.9%) and lymphoproliferative disorder 1(1.9%), leukaemia 4(7.8%).
