As a hematologist, I would like to share with you some information about the importance of blood health and what major diseases I encounter in my practice.
Blood plays a key role in our body as it carries oxygen and nutrients throughout the body, as well as removes waste and toxins. Blood consists of three main components: erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infections, and platelets help blood clot.
In my practice, I encounter various blood diseases such as anemia (lack of iron), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and leukemia (blood cancer). These conditions can be caused by various causes, including genetic factors, viruses, and autoimmune diseases.
It is very important to have regular blood tests to detect any abnormalities in the blood composition. The sooner you discover the problem, the sooner you can prescribe treatment and prevent possible complications.
It is also important to remember about a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper nutrition, regular physical activity and giving up bad habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
Although my job can be difficult and sometimes requires difficult decisions, I always strive to help my patients and improve their quality of life. Blood is a vital component of our body, and proper care of it can help us stay healthy and strong throughout our lives.
