Red Cell Disorders

Red cell disorders refer to conditions that affect red blood cells, which are crucial for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Common disorders include anemia, where the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells, leading to fatigue and weakness; and polycythemia, where there are too many red blood cells, causing increased blood viscosity. These disorders can result from various factors such as nutritional deficiencies, bone marrow problems, or underlying diseases. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms and maintain overall health.
