Conditions like anemia or clotting disorders fall under which category?

Hematologic disorders refer to conditions that affect the blood and blood-forming tissues, including issues with blood components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Anemia, which involves a deficiency in red blood cells or hemoglobin, directly impacts the body’s ability to transport oxygen effectively. Clotting disorders, which can result in abnormal blood clotting or a tendency to bleed excessively, also fall under this category as they affect the blood's ability to function properly in clot formation and hemostasis.

Understanding these disorders is critical, especially in the context of CMV driver medical certification, as they can have significant implications for a driver's health and ability to operate a vehicle safely. The other categories—metabolic, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders—though important in their own contexts, do not encompass the specific blood-related issues that anemia and clotting disorders represent.
