B-Cell Disorders

B-cell disorders involve problems with a type of white blood cell called B-cells, which are essential for fighting infections by producing antibodies. These disorders can include conditions where B-cells grow uncontrollably, such as certain lymphomas and leukemias, or where they malfunction, leading to weakened immunity, as seen in some autoimmune diseases. Some B-cell disorders are acquired, often related to infections or aging, while others are genetic. Treatment varies based on the specific disorder but may involve chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or immune system regulation to control abnormal B-cell activity and restore immune balance.
