  • Hemolytic anemia
    Hemolytic anemia or haemolytic anaemia is a form of anemia due to hemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs), either in the blood vessels (intravascular hemolysis) or elsewhere in the human body (extravascular).
  • Hemoglobinuria
    In medicine, hemoglobinuria or haemoglobinuria is a condition in which the oxygen transport protein hemoglobin is found in abnormally high concentrations in the urine.
  • Hematologic disease
    Hematologic diseases are disorders which primarily affect the blood.
  • Antiphospholipid syndrome
    Antiphospholipid syndrome or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS or APLS), or often also Hughes syndrome, is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable state caused by antiphospholipid antibodies.
  • Leukopenia
    Leukopenia (also known as leukocytopenia or leucopenia, from Greek λευκός "white" and πενία "deficiency") is a decrease in the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) found in the blood, which places individuals at increased risk of infection.
  • Von Willebrand disease
    Von Willebrand disease (vWD) (/ˌfʌnˈvɪlᵻbrɑːnt/) is the most common hereditary blood-clotting disorder in humans.
  • Fanconi anemia
    Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease.
  • Leukocytosis
    Leukocytosis is white cells (the leukocyte count) above the normal range in the blood.
  • Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
    Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is an extremely rare, life-threatening, progressive disease that frequently has a genetic component.
  • Hemoglobin C
    Hemoglobin C (abbreviated as Hb C or HbC) is an abnormal hemoglobin in which substitution of a glutamic acid residue with a lysine residue at the 6th position of the β-globin chain has occurred (E6K substitution).
  • Anisocytosis
    Anisocytosis is a medical term meaning that a patient's red blood cells are of unequal size.
  • Acute intermittent porphyria
    Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare autosomal dominant metabolic disorder affecting the production of heme, the oxygen-binding prosthetic group of hemoglobin.
  • Purpura
    Purpura is a condition of red or purple discolored spots on the skin that do not blanch on applying pressure.
  • Polycythemia vera
    Polycythemia (or Polycythaemia, see spelling differences) vera (PV) (also known as erythremia, primary polycythemia, Vaquez disease, Osler-Vaquez disease and polycythemia rubra vera) is a neoplasm in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells.
  • Agranulocytosis
    Agranulocytosis, also known as agranulosis or granulopenia, is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia (lowered white blood cell count), most commonly of neutrophils causing a neutropenia in the circulating blood.
  • Hyperlipidemia
    Hyperlipidemia is abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood.
  • Hypoalbuminemia
    Hypoalbuminemia (or hypoalbuminaemia) is a medical sign in which the level of albumin in the blood is abnormally low.
  • Thrombocytopenia
    Thrombocytopenia refer to a disorder in which there is a relative decrease of thrombocytes, commonly known as platelets, present in the blood.
  • Coagulopathy
    Coagulopathy (also called a bleeding disorder) is a condition in which the blood’s ability to coagulate (form clots) is impaired.
  • Eosinophilia
    Eosinophilia is a condition in which the eosinophil count in the peripheral blood exceeds 4.
  • Hemosiderosis
    Hemosiderosis (AmE) or haemosiderosis (BrE) is a form of iron overload disorder resulting in the accumulation of hemosiderin.
  • Haemophilia C
    Haemophilia C (also known as plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA) deficiency or Rosenthal syndrome) is a mild form of haemophilia affecting both sexes, due to factor XI deficiency.
  • Nosebleed
    Epistaxis, also known as a nosebleed, is the common occurrence of bleeding from the nose.
  • Thrombophilia
    Thrombophilia (sometimes hypercoagulability or a prothrombotic state) is an abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis (blood clots in blood vessels).
  • Haemophilia B
    Haemophilia B (or hemophilia B) is a blood clotting disorder caused by a mutation of the factor IX gene, leading to a deficiency of factor IX.
  • Paraproteinemia
    Paraproteinemia, also known as monoclonal gammopathy, is the presence of excessive amounts of paraprotein or single monoclonal gammaglobulin in the blood.
  • Anaplasmosis
    Anaplasmosis is a disease caused by a rickettsial parasite of ruminants, Anaplasma spp.
  • Haemophilia A
    Haemophilia A is a genetic deficiency in clotting factor VIII, which causes increased bleeding and usually affects males.
  • Langerhans cell histiocytosis
    Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease involving clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells, abnormal cells deriving from bone marrow and capable of migrating from skin to lymph nodes.
  • Neutrophilia
    Neutrophilia (also called neutrophil leukocytosis or occasionally neutrocytosis) is leukocytosis of neutrophils, that is, a high number of neutrophil granulocytes in the blood.
  • Light chain deposition disease
    Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) is a rare blood cell disease which is characterized by deposition of fragments of infection-fighting immunoglobulins, called light chains (LCs), in the body.
  • Neutropenia
    Neutropenia or neutropaenia, is an abnormally low concentration of neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) in the blood.
  • Hyperviscosity syndrome
    Hyperviscosity syndrome is a group of symptoms triggered by increase in the viscosity of the blood.
  • Shwachman–Diamond syndrome
    Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) or Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction, skeletal abnormalities, and short stature.
  • Hemoglobin H disease
    Hemoglobin H disease is a type of alpha thalassemia caused by impaired production of three of the four alpha globins, coded by genes HBA1 and HBA2.
  • Macroglobulinemia
    Macroglobulinemia is the presence of increased levels of macroglobulins in the circulating blood.
  • Pancytopenia
    Pancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is a reduction in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets.
  • No reflow phenomenon
    No reflow phenomenon is the failure of blood to reperfuse an ischemic area after the physical obstruction has been removed or bypassed.
  • Hemolytic-uremic syndrome
    Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (or haemolytic-uraemic syndrome), abbreviated HUS, is a disease characterized by hemolytic anemia (anemia caused by destruction of red blood cells), acute kidney failure (uremia), and a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
  • Leukemoid reaction
    The term leukemoid reaction describes an increasedwhite blood cell count, or leukocytosis, which is a physiological response to stress or infection (as opposed to a primary blood malignancy, such as leukemia).
  • Tumor lysis syndrome
    Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a group of metabolic abnormalities that can occur as a complication during the treatment of cancer, most commonly after the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias.

  • Hepatic veno-occlusive disease
    Hepatic veno-occlusive disease or veno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a condition in which some of the small veins in the liver are obstructed.
  • Hyperproteinemia
    Hyperproteinemia is the state of having overly high levels of protein in the blood.
