What is Blood Disorders
Blood disorders are conditions that affect the blood's ability to function properly. These disorders can involve issues with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, or blood clotting factors. Common types include anemia, which is a shortage of red blood cells; leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow; and hemophilia, a genetic disorder affecting blood clotting. Symptoms may vary widely, from fatigue and frequent infections to easy bruising and excessive bleeding. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing these conditions and improving quality of life.
