Blood Disorders

Blood disorders in pediatric hematology refer to conditions affecting the blood's ability to function properly in children. These can include anemia (low red blood cells), where kids may feel tired or weak; bleeding disorders like hemophilia, where blood doesn’t clot well; and blood cancers like leukemia, where abnormal cells affect normal blood production. Symptoms often include fatigue, easy bruising, frequent infections, or unusual bleeding. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, and treatment varies widely from medications and lifestyle adjustments to more intensive therapies like transfusions or chemotherapy, depending on the disorder's nature and severity.
