Well, since they’re portrayed as kids you could interpret the harsh treatment of the thymocytes as abusive.

Unless you count various germs, viruses or any attack on the immune system, then no.

During the two-part hypovolemic shock episode, oxygen starts to run low in the body due to the lack of red blood cells, resulting in cells gasping and crying for oxygen.

Cuts and scrapes are depicted similarly to a hull breach in a sci-fi, with throwaway characters being vacuumed to their doom out of a hole in the sky.
Thymocytes who fail their tests are dropped down a trapdoor.

Due to how cellular reproduction works, whenever a tissue cell is killed, a parent dies.

No, but it is implied at some points that the human whose cells are shown in the show is seeking medical attention at a hospital.

One villain literally IS an aggressive cancer, and I don't mean that he's offensive. He's a humanized carcinoma who's trying to destroy the entire Body (read: city) because he feels unfairly persecuted.

You have to check that you're talking about the correct series.
There is no disordered eating in this series, Cells at Work!
But, it does appear in the Spinoff: Cells at work: Black!

Since the series seems to take place in the bodies of Asian Japanese characters, there are no black characters.

When cells are born deformed, the NK cells kill them off. One Cancer Cell finds this evil and talks about it a lot.

@wesleythomasm. All the stuff you're describing is in the spinoff and not in this series.
There is no sexual content in Cells at Work! But there is sexual content in Cells at Work Black, the spinoff.

If you count all of the cells in one body as related, and perceive some relationships as romantic, then yes. But nothing canonical.
