A blood disorder characterized by yellow colored skin and whites of the eyes. It is caused by an excess of bilirubin, a by product of RBC breakdown in the bloodstream.

A disorder in which the blood does not clot properly due to the absence of a clotting factor. People with hemophilia are commonly called “bleeders” since they lack the ability to clot.
