What are Blood Disorders?
Blood disorders refer to a group of conditions that affect the function, quantity, or quality of blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. These conditions may be inherited or acquired, and can range from common, manageable disorders like anaemia to more complex and life-threatening conditions such as hemophilia, thalassemia, sickle cell disease (SCD), and blood cancers (e.g., leukemia and lymphoma).
They can disrupt essential functions such as oxygen transport, immune defense, and blood clotting, leading to symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, abnormal bleeding, or bruising. Depending on the specific disorder and its severity, treatment options include:
- Medications (e.g., iron supplements, clotting factors, hydroxyurea)
- Blood transfusions (for anemia, thalassemia, SCD)
- Bone marrow transplants (for select patients with thalassemia, SCD, leukemia)
- Gene therapy (emerging for hemophilia and SCD)
- Lifestyle and dietary adjustments and supportive therapies
Timely diagnosis and regular follow-up with a haematologist are essential to managing symptoms, preventing complications, and achieving the best outcomes.
