Hematologic Disorders

Hematologic disorders are conditions that affect the blood and its components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Common examples include anemia (low red blood cell count), leukemia (cancer of blood-forming tissues), and clotting disorders like hemophilia. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, infections, and abnormal bleeding. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, and treatment varies from medication to blood transfusions or other therapies. Overall, these conditions can impact overall health and require medical attention for proper management.
