The hematologist is the doctor who specializes in blood diseases. It is responsible for diagnosing and treating blood disorders such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, hemophilia, and thrombosis. It uses laboratory tests and other diagnostic methods to evaluate the composition and function of the blood, as well as the health of the bone marrow and lymph nodes. It is advisable to see a hematologist if symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, abnormal bleeding, frequent bruising, recurrent infections or abnormal blood test results occur.
Anemia is a deficiency in the blood of red blood cells who supply oxygen to the rest of the body's cells.
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder in which blood doesn't clot efficiently leading to excessive bleeding and bruising.
Leukemia is a type of cancer resulting from the excessive formation of white blood cells that lodges in the spinal cord.
Lymphomas is a proliferation of defensive cells of the immune system, initiating cancer in the lymphatic system.
Myelodysplastic syndromes are conditions in which the bone marrow produces an abnormal number of blood cells. These disorders lead to accumulation of immature blood cells in the bone marrow, resulting in insufficient numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets within the bloodstream. This can cause fatigue; easy bruising; shortness of breath; and increased risk of infections.
Myelomas are plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) that clump together in the bone marrow, forming tumors in the bones.
Neutropenia is the abnormal decrease in white blood cells, making it prone to infection
The pilonidal sinus is a neoplasm located in the coccyx abnormally with skin and hair.
Sickle-cell disease (Hemoglobin S) is a hereditary blood disorder in which hemoglobin in red blood cells tends to clog arteries, leading to pain/damage under the ribs and in the hands and feet.
