Haematological disease conditions 

Sickle Cell Disease describes a group of inherited red blood cell disorders characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S or sickle hemoglobin.

Haemolytic anaemia results from an increase in the rate of red cell destruction in the intravascular or in the reticuloendothelial system in some pathological disorders

This is a condition whereby the bone marrow usually produces large, structurally abnormal, immature red blood cells (megaloblasts).

This is a condition whereby a lack of iron in the body (mainly due to blood loss secondary to haemorrhage, malabsorption and hookworm infestations and pregnancy) leads to a reduction in the number of red blood cells.
