About This Book
Blood plays many important roles in the human body. It carries oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells, helps fight infection, and works to heal wounds. When a disorder inhibits its ability to meet the body’s needs or prevents blood from flowing or coagulating properly, a myriad of problems can result. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), millions of people across the United States of all ages, races, sexes, and socioecomonic statuses are affected by blood disorders, such as anemia, sickle cell disease, and hemophilia.
Blood and Circulatory Disorders Sourcebook, Fifth Edition offers facts about blood function and composition, the maintenance of a healthy circulatory system, and the types of concerns that arise when processes go awry. It discusses the diagnosis and treatment of many common blood cell disorders, bleeding disorders, and circulatory disorders, including anemia, hemochromatosis, leukemia, lymphoma, hemophilia, hypercoagulation, thrombophilia, atherosclerosis, blood pressure irregularities, coronary artery and heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Blood donation, cord blood banking, blood transfusions, and bone marrow and stem cell transplants are also discussed. The book co
