Top 5 most common blood disorders

For more health information


Blood disorders refer to a range of medical conditions that affect the components of the blood. Some common types of blood disorders include anemia, thrombocytopenia, Von Willebrand disease, hemophilia, and sickle cell anemia.

Anemia is a condition in which the body has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin, which can result in fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. There are several types of anemia, including iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin-deficiency anemia, and hemolytic anemia.

Thrombocytopenia is a disorder in which the body has a lower than normal number of platelets, which can lead to excessive bleeding or bruising. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including autoimmune disorders, viral infections, or certain medications.

Von Willebrand disease is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the body has a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps blood clot. This can lead to prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery, as well as nosebleeds and heavy menstrual bleeding.

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the body has a deficiency or dysfunction of certain blood clotting factors, such as factor VIII or IX. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding or prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disorder in which the body produces abnormal hemoglobin, causing red blood cells to become rigid and form a crescent or sickle shape. This can lead to episodes of severe pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infection.

Treatment for blood disorders varies depending on the type and severity of the condition, and may include medications, blood transfusions, or other interventions to help manage symptoms and prevent complications.

I've been diagnosed with Factor V (Labile Factor, Proaccelerin). Deficiency (Owren’s Disease, Parahemophilia) most likely inherited.
Yet, since this is such a rare disorder, finding a hematologist with knowledge of this deficiency is difficult.
If going to the E.R., many doctors automatically assume Factor V Leiden until I interrupt and advise them, "NO." About 99% of E.R. Physicians have never heard of Factor V, Labile Factor, Proaccelerin, or it's also common to be combined with Factor VIII deficiency and is considered a separate disorder.
After giving birth to my son & blood levels obtained, we learned not only had ge inherited my Factor V Assay but also had Factor VIII
I don't understand why more studies/trials aren't being done to educate physicians and patients.
