Haemoglobinopathy Blood Disorders - Anaemias
Anaemia is a blood condition in which one has a deficiency of haemoglobin, the red pigment in red blood cells which carries oxygen in the blood. This may be due to a reduction in the number of red blood cells caused by decreased production, blood loss, increased destruction or a combination of these factors.
Blood Disorders - Sickle Cell Anaemia
Sickle cell anemia (sickle cell disease) is a disorder of the blood caused by an inherited abnormal hemoglobin (the oxygen-carrying protein within the red blood cells). The abnormal hemoglobin causes distorted (sickled appearing under a microscope) red blood cells.
