reAlso known as non-cancerous blood disorders treatments, benign hematologic treatments are therapies used to treat these disorders. The required treatments are planned out according to a number of factors including:<\/p>\n
In general, blood disorders are conditions which affect the various components of the blood. These include the red blood cells, white blood cells, the plasma and the platelets. All these four components of the blood have different functions:<\/p>\n
Benign hematologic disorders are the blood conditions which are either treatable\/curable, do not affect the lifespan of the patient or are chronic and can be managed with affecting the lifespan of the patient.<\/p>\n
Some of the common benign hematologic conditions include:<\/p>\n
This condition occurs when the blood red cell count is quite low. There are different types of anemia, including:<\/p>\n
As one of the rare blood disorders, this condition occurs when the blood is unable to clot properly due to low levels of clotting factors (proteins).<\/p>\n
This is a genetic blood disorder that occurs as a result of the blood not having enough hemoglobin.<\/p>\n
This is a condition that occurs when the blood is unable to clot. This happens as a result of inability to create enough proteins which stop bleeding.<\/p>\n
This is a common genetic disorder whereby the blood is unable to clot properly.<\/p>\n
Common symptoms of non-cancerous blood disorders include:<\/p>\n
The only way to make a definitive diagnosis of any blood disorder is through a blood test known as CBC (Complete Blood Count). The test is used to determine the complete count of the white and red blood cells, and the plasma. Additionally, a sample of the bone marrow (bone marrow biopsy) may be taken for examination to determine why the blood cells may be unusual.<\/p>\n
Other tests include:<\/p>\n
Treatment of non-cancerous blood conditions is dependent on the type of blood disorder, the severity of the condition and the overall health condition of the patient. There are a number of treatment options and therapies, whose aim is to completely treat the condition or manage the symptoms especially in cases where there is no known cure for the disease.<\/p>\n
Treatment options include:<\/strong><\/p>\n This mode of treatment is usually recommended for patients who have severe anemia. However, if the anemia is as a result of an underlying condition like kidney disease or any form of infection, then the underlying disorder is treated first.<\/p>\n In benign blood disorders where there is an over-production of blood cells, then a phlebotomy procedure is recommended. This is a procedure that carefully removes units of blood from the patient in order to keep the blood cell count at normal levels, which reduces the risks of one having a heart attack, stroke or critical blood clotting.<\/p>\n In instances where the patient is suffering from excess bleeding or clotting, like hemophilia whereby the blood is unable to clot due to a missing clotting factor, the mode of treatment is geared towards replacing the missing factor or increasing the levels of the clotting factors (proteins).<\/p>\n As for abnormal clotting of blood, for instance after a certain duration of immobility, anticoagulant therapy is recommended in order to reduce the risk of a thrombosis episode.<\/p>\n During infusion therapy treatment for benign blood disorders, an array of specialized drugs are delivered directly into the blood stream intravenously. This treatment option is used in hematologic conditions whereby platelets have been destroyed, or the immune system compromised.<\/p>\n Anemia that occurs as a result of nutritional deficiencies, then oral iron tablets and folic acid are prescribed, in addition to supplemental injections like vitamin B12.<\/p>\n At King\u2019s College Hospital Dubai, we focus on offering an exemplary service.
