Clonal Hematopoiesis

Clonal hematopoiesis is a condition where a specific group of blood cells, derived from a single stem cell, dominates the blood population. This can arise from mutations in the stem cells that produce blood. While often harmless, it may increase the risk of blood disorders, including leukemia, and cardiovascular diseases. As we age, the likelihood of developing clonal hematopoiesis grows, and it's an area of active research to understand its implications for health. Regular monitoring can help manage any potential risks associated with this condition.
