Anaemia is the most common type of blood disorder. Patients with anemia have a deficiency of oxygen-rich red blood cells or their red blood cells do not function properly. Anaemia frequently remains undiagnosed because it is an underlying condition of other health issues, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic kidney disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Haemophilia is a rare, typically inherited blood disorder in which the blood does not properly clot and causes excessive bleeding, which can cause damage to organs, joints, and tissues. The patient may suffer excessive bleeding from the site of an injury or from internal bleeding.

Thrombosis refers to the formation of abnormal blood clots that blocks blood circulation.

Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for blood cancer, though some patients receive radiation therapy as well and/or a transplant of stem cells or bone marrow. Antioxidants like lymphotoxin can also reduce the risk of one suffering from Blood Malignancies
