Hemostasis Disorders

Hemostasis disorders are medical conditions that affect the body's ability to stop bleeding. Normally, when we get a cut or injury, our blood quickly forms a clot to seal the wound. In people with hemostasis disorders, this process can be too slow (leading to excessive bleeding) or too quick (leading to unwanted clots). These issues can arise from genetic factors, medications, or other health problems. Understanding and diagnosing these disorders is crucial in clinical hematology, as they can significantly impact a person's health and require careful management to prevent complications.
