Haematology at S. H. Binayak Multispeciality Hospital provides specialized diagnosis and treatment for blood-related disorders. Our expert haematologists offer advanced care for conditions like anaemia, clotting disorders, and blood cancers, ensuring accurate diagnosis, effective therapy, and compassionate support for every patient’s health and well-being.
Haematology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood-related disorders. It encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases that affect the blood and bone marrow, as well as the immunologic, hemostatic (clotting), and vascular systems.
Haematology deals with all aspects of blood and its components, including:
Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Carry oxygen throughout the body.
White Blood Cells (WBCs):Defend against infection and disease.
Platelets:Help in blood clotting.
Plasma: The liquid part that carries cells, hormones, and nutrients.
Haematologists study both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) conditions affecting these components.
Haematology includes several subfields:
Haemato-oncology: The study and treatment of blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
Coagulation Disorders: Conditions related to abnormal clotting, such as hemophilia, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
Anemias: Disorders where red blood cells or hemoglobin levels are low, leading to fatigue and weakness (e.g., iron-deficiency anemia, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia).
Bone Marrow Disorders: Diseases where the bone marrow fails to produce healthy blood cells, like aplastic anemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.
Transfusion Medicine: Management of blood transfusions and blood banking.
Haematology laboratories conduct various diagnostic tests, including:
Complete Blood Count (CBC): Evaluates overall health and detects disorders such as anemia, infection, and leukemia.
Peripheral Blood Smear: Examines the shape, size, and number of blood cells.
Bone Marrow Examination: Determines the cause of abnormal blood counts or suspected cancers.
Coagulation Tests (PT, aPTT, INR): Assess blood clotting function.
Blood Grouping and Crossmatching: Essential for transfusions.
