Blood conditions and disorders affect the components of blood—red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, clotting factors, and plasma—and can range from mild and manageable to complex and life-threatening. Awareness efforts help educate the public about common blood disorders, including anemia, bleeding and clotting disorders, platelet disorders, and blood cancers that originate in the blood or bone marrow. Some conditions are inherited, while others develop later in life due to autoimmune diseases, infections, nutritional deficiencies, medications, or other underlying health concerns. Recognizing potential warning signs such as fatigue, easy bruising, recurrent infections, shortness of breath, excessive bleeding, or unexplained blood clots can encourage individuals to seek medical attention sooner.
