Conditions We Treat

At the Stanford Health Care Hematology Program, our expert team of specialists works collaboratively to diagnose, manage, and treat the full spectrum of noncancerous blood disorders. We combine compassionate, patient-centered care with the latest advances in hematology to deliver the most effective and comprehensive treatment options.

Our hematology team provides expert care for a wide range of hematologic (blood) disorders, including rare and complex conditions. We treat disorders that affect the bone marrow—the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are formed—as well as all components of the blood, including:

• Plasma: The liquid portion of blood that carries blood cells throughout the body. Disorders include clotting factor deficiencies (e.g., hemophilia) and immune-mediated plasma disorders.
• Platelets: Cells that help blood to clot and prevent bleeding. Conditions include thrombocytopenia, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and platelet function disorders.
• Red blood cells: Cells that transport oxygen to tissues and organs. Disorders include anemia (iron-deficiency, aplastic, hemolytic), sickle cell disease, and thalassemia.
• White blood cells: Cells that defend the body against infection and disease. Conditions include neutropenia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and other immune-related disorders.

Our team’s expertise ensures that even rare and complex blood disorders are accurately diagnosed and effectively managed with advanced, coordinated care.
