Ese koko birakwiye gukusanya amaraso mu mukondo w'umwana? Reka twige ibijyanye no gukinga amaraso mu mukondo w'umwana.

Niba uri umubyeyi mushya cyangwa utegereje umwana mushya , ushobora kuba warumvise ibijyanye no gukusanya amaraso y'inkondo y'umura. Igitekerezo cy'uko amaraso y'inkondo y'umura, akusanywa nyuma yo kuvuka k'umwana, ashobora gukoreshwa mu kuvura indwara zikomeye ni cyiza cyane, si byo se? Ariko se ibi ni iki koko? Bigura angahe? Ibi bidufitiye akamaro kangana iki muri Sri Lanka? Reka tubiganireho mu magambo make.

Amaraso y'umugozi ni iki? Kuki afite agaciro?

Mu magambo make, amaraso yo mu mugongo ni amaraso aguma mu mugongo no mu nyababyeyi nyuma yo kuvuka k'umwana. Akenshi aya maraso ajugunywa nk'imyanda yo kwa muganga.

Ariko aya maraso ni umwihariko cyane. Kubera ko akungahaye cyane ku turemangingo fatizo . Tekereza ko utu turemangingo fatizo ari 'uturemangingo fatizo' dushobora guhinduka ubwoko ubwo aribwo bwose bw'uturemangingo mu mubiri wacu. Ni nk'aho ari ubusa, ushobora gushushanya ishusho iyo ari yo yose. Utu turemangingo dushobora guhinduka ikintu icyo ari cyo cyose, kuva ku turemangingo tw'amaraso kugeza ku turemangingo tw'ubwonko kugeza ku turemangingo tw'imitsi y'umutima.

Kubera iyi gaciro, izi selile zishobora guterwa mu buryo bumwe n’uburyo bwo gutera umwongo w’amagufwa bukoreshwa mu kuvura kanseri nka kanseri y’amaraso , indwara z’amaraso nka thalassemia , n’izindi ndwara nyinshi ziterwa n’uturemangingo.

Ubwoko bubiri bw'ububiko bw'amaraso: ubwa leta n'ubw'abikorera ku giti cyabo

Hari uburyo bubiri bw'ingenzi bwo kubika amaraso y'imitsi ku isi. Ni banki za leta n'amabanki yigenga. Hari itandukaniro rinini hagati y'ibyo byombi.

Nubwo banki za leta ari igitekerezo cyiza, kuzishyiraho no kuzikoresha birahenze cyane, bityo hari umubare muto cyane wazo ku isi. Niyo mpamvu abantu benshi bitabira serivisi z’amabanki ku giti cyabo.

Ese koko birakwiye gushyira amaraso muri banki yigenga?

Banki zigenga ziyita iyi serivisi "ubwishingizi bw'ibinyabuzima ." Ni ukuvuga ko, uyu munsi uba ufite umutungo w'agaciro ushobora gukoresha mu gihe umwana wawe cyangwa umwe mu bagize umuryango wawe arwaye indwara ikomeye mu gihe kizaza. Iyo wumvise ibi, umubyeyi uwo ari we wese atekereza ati "Yego rwose, ndashaka kubikorera umwana wanjye."

Ariko reka turebe imibare gato. Ni mu rugero rungana iki umwana azakenera amaraso ye bwite y’umuyoboro w’amaraso?

Hari impamvu nyamukuru ibitera. Tekereza umwana afite indwara y’uturemangingo (urugero: thalassemia) cyangwa ubwoko bwa leukemia ibaho igihe yavukaga. Hanyuma amaraso y’umwana yo mu muyoboro w’amaraso na yo aba arimo utwo turemangingo cyangwa uturemangingo twarwaye. Bityo ayo maraso ntashobora gukoreshwa mu kuvura uwo mwana . Ni nko kugerageza gusana imodoka ukoresheje igice cyangiritse.

None se koko izi banki zigenga zifitiye bande akamaro?

Iki ni cyo gice cy'ingenzi cyane cy'iyi nkuru. Nubwo ibi ntacyo bimaze ku muryango usanzwe ufite ubuzima bwiza, mu bihe bimwe na bimwe byihariye bishobora kurokora ubuzima.

Gukoresha uburyo bwo kuvura amaraso ku giti cy’umuntu (private cord blood banking) birasabwa cyane mu gihe undi mwana mu muryango afite indwara ishobora gukira hakoreshejwe uburyo bwo gutera uturemangingo tw’umubiri.

Reka tubisobanureho gato. Tekereza ko umwana mukuru mu muryango wawe afite indwara nka thalassemia cyangwa leukemia . Akeneye guterwa uturemangingo fatizo kugira ngo tumuvure. Muri iki gihe, iyo amaraso y'uruhinja rw'umwana muzima atoranijwe akabikwa, ashobora guhuzwa no guterwa mu muvandimwe urwaye. Amahirwe yo guhuza uturemangingo tw'umuvandimwe ni menshi cyane kuruta ay'umuntu utazi.

Ni izihe ndwara ziri kuvurwa ubu hakoreshejwe uturemangingo tw’umubiri?

Kugeza ubu, uturemangingo tw’umugongo twakoreshejwe neza mu kuvura indwara zirenga 75 ku isi. Iz’ingenzi ni izi:

• Ubwoko butandukanye bwa kanseri y'amaraso nka leukemia na lymphoma .
• Indwara z’uturemangingo dutukura tw’amaraso, nka Thalassemia na Sickle-Cell Anemia .
• Indwara zo kunanirwa kw'umusemburo w'amagufwa.
• Zimwe mu ndwara ziterwa n'imiterere y'umubiri, nk'indwara ya Krabbe .
• Hari ibibazo bikomeye by’ubudahangarwa bw’umubiri.

Byongeye kandi, hari gukorwa ubushakashatsi ku ikoreshwa ry’uturemangingo fatizo mu ndwara nka kanseri y’ibere, SIDA, diyabete n’indwara z’umutima. Ariko, ni ngombwa kwibuka ko ibi bikiri mu cyiciro cy’ubushakashatsi .
