hemotoxicity

Hemotoxicity refers to the harmful effects of certain substances, such as chemicals or toxins, on the blood and blood-forming organs. It can impair the production and function of blood cells, damage blood vessels, or interfere with blood clotting processes. This may lead to symptoms like bleeding, anemia (low red blood cell count), fatigue, or increased risk of infection. Hemotoxicity is often caused by exposure to poisons, drugs, or environmental toxins, and managing it involves identifying and removing the source of toxicity, along with appropriate medical treatment to support blood health.
