🗑
Erythropoiesis   The process of red blood cell production        
🗑
Hemarthrosis   Bleeding into the joint space, a hallmark of severe disease usually occurring in the knees, ankles, elbows        
🗑
Hemophilia A   Hereditary coagulation disorder; caused by lack of antihemophilic factor 8, which is needed to convert prothrombin to thrombin through thromboplastin component        
🗑

🗑
Homozygous   Having 2 identical genes, inherited from each parent, for a given hereditary characteristic        
🗑
Idiopathic   Cause unknown        
🗑
Leukemia   Malignant disorder of the hematopoietic system in which an access of leukocytes accumulates in the bone marrow and lymph nodes        
🗑
Leukopenia   abnormal decrease in the number of white blood cells to fewer than 5000 cells/MM 3 due to depression of the bone marrow        
🗑
