Pediatric Hemostasis and Thrombosis

Pediatric hemostasis and thrombosis refer to the processes that ensure blood clots form properly in children, particularly when dealing with blood disorders or cancers. Hemostasis is the body’s ability to stop bleeding through clot formation, while thrombosis occurs when clots form abnormally, which can cause blockages. In pediatric hematology-oncology, understanding these processes is crucial for managing conditions like leukemia or hemophilia, where blood's ability to clot is affected. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications, ensuring children can lead healthier lives while coping with their medical challenges.
