Tag: dry tap
A “dry tap” refers to a medical procedure, specifically when a needle is inserted into a bone to extract bone marrow, but little to no fluid or marrow is obtained. This can happen due to various reasons such as bone marrow fibrosis (scarring), a lack of available marrow, or improper technique. A dry tap can complicate diagnostic efforts as it might hinder the analysis of the bone marrow cells and their composition, which is important for assessing various medical conditions like blood disorders, cancers, and more.
