Blood Disorders in Children

Blood disorders in children refer to conditions affecting the production or function of blood cells, impacting overall health. Common types include anemia (low red blood cells), which can cause fatigue; hemophilia, a genetic disorder affecting blood clotting; and leukemia, a type of cancer affecting white blood cells. Symptoms may include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding, or frequent infections. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, and treatment can range from medications to blood transfusions. Early detection and management are crucial for improving outcomes and ensuring a better quality of life for affected children.
