Blood & Blood Vessel (Vascular) Disorders

The basic types of blood vessels are arteries, veins, capillaries and lymphatics. Their main goal is to keep blood flowing to all of your vital organs. Here, you can discuss topics related to blood disorders (anemia, blood cholesterol, hemochromatosis, hemophilia, polycythemia vera, sepsis, sickle cell disease, thalassemia, thrombosis) and blood vessel disorders (arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, aneurysm, vasculitis, venous thrombosis, varicose veins, lymphedema).
