blood disorder

A blood disorder is a condition that affects how your blood functions or its components, such as red cells, white cells, platelets, or plasma. These disorders can cause problems like anemia (low red blood cells), bleeding issues (low platelets), or immune system problems (abnormal white blood cells). Some blood disorders are inherited, like sickle cell anemia, while others develop over time or due to other health conditions. They can lead to symptoms like fatigue, easy bruising, frequent infections, or abnormal bleeding. Effective diagnosis and treatment are important to manage these conditions and maintain health.
