DISEASE AND CONDITIONS

disease and conditions

• Blood Cancer: Blood transfusion is one of the most effective yet short-term reliefs providing treatment for blood cancer patients. The fresh blood gives the patient healthy blood cells which the body has been failing to produce on its own.
• Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB):This happens when babies are unable to stop bleeding due to Vitamin K Deficiency which is vital to form a clot. The bleeding could occur anywhere – inside or outside the baby’s body. When the bleeding takes place within the body, it could be difficult to notice as it could be the intestines, brain or any other organ that could be bleeding. Also, if the bleeding is external and does not stop then also it could pose a serious problem. In both cases, the baby would be required to undergo a blood transfusion from the blood bank 
• Pernicious Anaemia (B12 Deficiency):This is a rare autoimmune disorder causing loss of red blood cells when the intestines cannot absorb Vitamin B-12 properly.This could require lifelong supplementation and monitoring and if the condition gets chronic, the person would be recommended to undergo blood transfusion by the physician. The frequency of this blood transfusion could depend on the condition of the B12 Deficient person.
