Menorrhagia is excessive period bleeding. Explore the causes, symptoms and the approach to diagnose it.
Red Blood Cells
Tachycardia in Hematological Patients
Tachycardia in hematology is critical. Often signals anemia, infection, or treatment issues. Early recognition improves patient outcomes.
Liver and Causes of Hepatomegaly
Hepatomegaly means an enlarged liver, often a sign of underlying conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or heart failure. Diagnosis involves physical exams and imaging.
Hydrops Fetalis
Explore hydrops fetalis: a severe fetal condition marked by excessive fluid accumulation. Learn its diverse causes, from genetic to infectious.

Hemoglobinuria: Overview and Causes
Hemoglobinuria: Red urine from free hemoglobin, not whole RBCs. Signals serious issues like hemolysis. Prompt diagnosis is vital.
Hematuria (Blood in Urine): Overview & Causes
Hematuria: Blood in urine, gross (visible) or microscopic. Could signal infection, stones, or more serious issues.
Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria
Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare autoimmune anemia. Cold exposure triggers red cell destruction, causing dark urine, back pain, and chills. Diagnosis relies on the Donath-Landsteiner test.
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): An acquired blood disease where the immune system attacks red cells due to a mutation in the X chromosome.
Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (warm AIHA)
Warm AIHA: Immune system attacks red blood cells, causing anemia. Symptoms include fatigue, pallor, and jaundice. Treatment targets immune suppression.
Cold Agglutinin Disease
Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD) is a rare autoimmune anemia. Cold-reactive antibodies destroy red blood cells, causing fatigue, cold sensitivity, and anemia.
