Diseases of Red Blood Components include:

  1. Anemia – Disease states characterized by decreased hemoglobin, usually Hematocrit and erythrocyte counts below the lower limit of age and sex.
  2. Polyglobulia – a condition in which red blood cells are multiplied so that their number exceeds the upper limit for a given age; hemoglobin and hematocrit increase.
