Conditions caused by blood factors are very diverse, including but not limited to the following:
Red blood cell disorders
Anemia: This is caused by a decrease in the number of red blood cells or insufficient hemoglobin content, and the common ones are iron deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia, hemolytic anemia, etc.
Polycythemia vera: This is a condition in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, which can lead to complications such as thrombosis.
White blood cell disorders
Leukemia: including acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, etc., characterized by abnormal proliferation of white blood cells and affecting normal blood cell function.
Lymphoma: a malignancy of the lymphatic system that affects lymphocytes, including Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Myelodysplastic syndrome: an abnormality in the number and/or quality of blood cells produced by the bone marrow.
Bleeding disorders
Thrombocytopenic purpura: such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), bleeding tendencies due to decreased platelet counts.
Hemophilia: Inherited deficiency of clotting factors, resulting in coagulation dysfunction.
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) and other abnormalities in clotting factors that affect the blood's ability to clot.
Thrombotic disorders
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Blood clotting abnormally in deep veins can cause pulmonary embolism.
Arterial thrombosis: Can cause a heart attack or stroke.
Bone marrow disease:
Myelofibrosis: The bone marrow is replaced by scar tissue, affecting normal blood cell production.
Essential thrombocythemia: An abnormally high number of platelets, increasing the risk of blood clots.
Immune-mediated hematologic disorders
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia: The immune system mistakenly attacks its own red blood cells.
These diseases may exist alone or in association with other systemic diseases and pose a significant threat to the patient's health. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease and may include medications, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biologics, surgery, and bone marrow transplantation.
