hematologic disorders in children

Hematologic disorders in children involve problems with blood components, such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, or blood clotting. These can lead to issues like anemia (low red cells causing fatigue), infections (due to weak white cells), bleeding or easy bruising (from low platelets), or clotting problems. Some conditions are inherited, like sickle cell disease or hemophilia, while others develop later, like leukemia. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, and treatments vary from medications to transfusions or therapy, aiming to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
