Consultation

Clinical Hematology or study of blood disorders is a highly specialised field related to diagnosis , evaluation treatment and treatment of blood disorders. Blood disorders range from simple iron deficiency anemia to highly complex and sometimes difficult to treat leukemia and lymphoma. Blood disorder may present as mild weakness , fatiguability , generalised lymphadenopathy , bleeding or fever.

Whenever a haematological disorder is suspected, It is very important to consult your haematologist and plan treatment.

DIAGNOSIS

After a patient presents to us with suspected blood disorder, we immediately start his/ her initial work up , which includes Complete blood counts, Reticulocyte count, peripheral smear etc. Based upon these initial investigations, patients may require further work up , which depends upon the suspected disease. For example, if a patient is suspected to have blood cancer, we plan immediate bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, in addition , some special tests like flow cytometry, cytogenetics / FISH studies are done. If a patient has suspected hemoglobinopathy, or a blood disorder with low Hb from childhood, initial work up includes HPLC and parental studies. We have a complete cancer centre with support from surgical oncology and radiation oncology , so that whenever a patient of say suspected lymphoma comes to us , lymph node biopsy is done on urgent basis and samples sent for histopathology and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies.

All these tests are done in house and on priority basis for any patients with suspected blood disorder.
