Blood disorders are the pathologies which can affect the quantity as well as the functionality of the blood cells. The diagnosis of hematologic disorders is performed and based on the: - Medical history (symptoms) - Physical examination - Laboratory tests Blood cells disorders could affect Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets.
