Hematological Disorders
Hematological disorders are a broad group of conditions that affect your blood and the organs responsible for its production, primarily the bone marrow. Your blood is a vital part of your body, composed of several key components: red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body; white blood cells, which are crucial for fighting infections; platelets, which help your blood clot and prevent excessive bleeding; and plasma, the liquid portion that transports all these cells, nutrients, and waste products. A hematological disorder means that one or more of these essential components, or their production, is not functioning correctly.
Common Symptoms
- Persistent fatigue or weakness
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds, gum bleeding)
