Treatment for Non-Cancerous Blood Disorders

A range of treatment options exist for non-cancerous blood disorders. Treatments include blood transfusions, infusion therapy, medications, and surgeries. These can help reduce symptoms and give you fresh energy.

Sometimes, people with non-cancerous blood disorders qualify for a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant replaces diseased blood cells with healthy stem cells. Stem cells then grow new blood cells.
