    Hematology

    Hematology department

    Hematology (from the Greek word ‘haima’, meaning blood) is the branch of internal medicine that deals with the physiology, pathology, etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and prevention of blood-related disorders. Hematologists are trained to treat a wide variety of disease conditions ranging from anemia to blood cancer.

    Some of the diseases treated by haematologists include:

    • Anemia due to hematinic deficiencies – iron deficiency anaemia, megaloblastic anemia.
    • Cancers of blood, lymphoid organs or bone marrow – leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelofibrosis.
    • Hemoglobinopathies – thalassemia, sickle cell anemia.
    • Essential thrombocythemia or excess production of platelets.
    • Polycythemia or excess production of red blood cells.
    • Bleeding disorders – hemophilia, von Willebrand disease.
    • Platelet disorders – immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Glanzmann’s thrombasthenia, Bernard Soulier syndrome.
    • Clot formation within the body – deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, arterial thrombotic blocks, thrombophilia.
    • Anticoagulation or blood thinning medications.
