After a stem cell transplant, a patient's protein and calorie requirements may increase by 25% to 50% to help repair tissue and fight infection. The proper nutritional plan is a critical component of the recovery process, helping to rebuild the immune system and manage treatment side effects.

According to fatwas from major Islamic bodies like Egypt's Dar Al-Ifta and the Islamic Fiqh Council, bone marrow transplantation is generally considered permissible, or halal. The ruling is based on the overarching Islamic principle of preserving and saving human life, provided specific ethical and legal guidelines are followed.
