Hematology covers a wide range of blood disorders, including both benign (non-cancerous) and cancerous conditions. The symptoms of benign hematologic conditions depend on several factors, such as platelet count and iron absorption. Common symptoms of a blood disorder may include:
Some benign blood conditions can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication. Some may only need treatment during pregnancy, while others are inherited and require ongoing care. Our comprehensive diagnostic testing services help our physicians determine the best course of treatment for each patient.
At Regional Cancer Care Associates, our benign hematology services cover a wide range of disorders. Common blood disorders that we treat at each of our locations include the following:
Anemia is characterized by a low red blood count and is often accompanied by fatigue. The condition can stem from several issues, but common causes include iron deficiency and chronic disease.
Hemolytic anemia, a more complex form of the condition, is marked by the breakdown of red blood cells. Other forms of anemia and related conditions that RCCA treats include:
Usually triggered by an injury, blood clotting is the body’s natural defense against excessive bleeding. Clots form when proteins and particles in the blood (platelets) adhere together. However, certain conditions may exacerbate this natural process. Blood clotting disorders include:
Bleeding disorders that inhibit clotting can cause excessive bleeding after injury or surgery. These conditions may be present from birth or develop at a later stage in life. Conditions include:
Abnormal platelet function can cause issues with blood clotting, bruising, and bleeding. Thrombocytosis is a blood disorder in which the body produces platelets in excess, while thrombocytopenia occurs when the body produces low amounts of platelets. Related conditions include:
Often hereditary, hemochromatosis causes the body to absorb too much iron from food. Because iron is stored in the organs, too much of this mineral can lead to complications.
