Hematology is the medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases that can cause abnormalities in the blood and its components, such as the red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets and blood vessels. Blood is a vital fluid that carries oxygen and nutrients to cells throughout the body, removes waste products, and helps fight infection.
It also includes the bone marrow which is responsible for producing blood, as well as the spleen which filters the blood and stores platelets and white blood cells. Blood disorders can be acute or chronic and include anemia, bleeding disorders and blood clots. Blood disorders can arise from various causes, including genetic factors, diet deficiencies, infections, autoimmune diseases, and side effects of medications.
Through a combination of diagnostic tests, including blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, and imaging studies, these disorders can be identified. Treatment options may involve medications, blood transfusions, stem cell transplants, or other therapies, depending on the specific condition.
Our dedicated teams of experienced multidisciplinary specialists and healthcare professionals work together to provide treatment plans tailored to the needs of our patients on their recovery journey.
