|
Lymphoma

|
Cancer that starts in the bone marrow and affects the plasma cells
|
Myeloma
|
|
Condition where the body doesn't produce enough platelets (less than 150,000 platelets per microliter)
|
Thrombocytopenia
|
|
Too high platelet counts (more than 450,000 platelets per microliter)
|
Thrombocytosis

|
When the blood carries less oxygen than normal; will cause coldness, tiredness and weakness
|
Anemia
|
|
When your WBC count is too low (>4,000 per microliter of blood)
|
Leukopenia
|
|
When the body produces too many WBCs (>11,000 per microliter of blood)
|
Leukocytosis
|
|

|
|
Low oxygen level in the blood

The condition where the body's neutrophilia count is too high, can be identified if you have more than 7,500 neutrophils per microliter
|
Neutrophilia
|
|
The condition where the body's neutrophil count is too low; making it harder for the immune system to fight off infections and bacteria
|
Neutropenia
|
|
When the body's reaction to an infection becomes extreme and the immune system starts attacking normal, healthy organs instead, and in this case, the infection pertains the the blood itself. This illness is often referred to as blood poisoning
