Major Hematologic Disorders
• Iron Deficiency Anemia: The most common anemia in children, often caused by excessive milk intake (>24 oz/day) displacing iron-rich foods.
◦ Management: Administer iron supplements (give with Vitamin C/juice, avoid milk) and limit milk intake. Stools may turn tarry green.
• Sickle Cell Disease (SCD): Genetic disorder where HgbS replaces normal HgbA, causing RBCs to sickle, obstructing blood flow.

• Hemophilia: X-linked recessive clotting deficiency (A=Factor VIII, B=Factor IX).
