Over View
Hematology is a branch of medicine concerning the study of blood, blood-forming organs such as bone marrow, and blood-related disorders and diseases. The word "heme" comes from the Greek word for blood. Hematological tests are used to detect and diagnose diseases such as hemophilia, anemia, leukemia, sickle-cell anemia, lymphomas, and several infections.
Physicians specialized in hematology are known as hematologists or haematologists. Their routine work mainly includes the care and treatment of patients with hematological diseases, although some may also work at the hematology laboratory viewing blood films and bone marrow slides under the microscope, interpreting various hematological test results and blood clotting test results. In some institutions, hematologists also manage the hematology laboratory. Physicians who work in hematology laboratories, and most commonly manage them, are pathologists specialized in the diagnosis of hematological diseases, referred to as hematopathologists or haematopathologists. Hematologists and hematopathologists generally work in conjunction to formulate a diagnosis and deliver the most appropriate therapy if needed.
Treatment & Procedures
Blood Transfusion:
This procedure involves the infusion of blood or blood products into a patient's bloodstream. It is used to treat conditions such as anemia, severe bleeding, and certain blood cancers where there is a need to replenish blood components like red blood cells, platelets, or plasma.
Medication:
Hematologists prescribe various medications to manage and treat blood disorders. For example: Iron Supplements: Used to treat iron-deficiency anemia. Anticoagulants: Medications that prevent blood clot formation, often prescribed for conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or atrial fibrillation. Chemotherapy: Administered to treat blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Immune Modulators: These drugs can help manage immune system-related disorders like immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy:
This procedure involves taking a sample of bone marrow (usually from the hip bone) to diagnose blood disorders, evaluate the bone marrow's function, or assess the presence of cancer cells. It is often used in the diagnosis of conditions like leukemia, myeloma, and myelodysplastic syndromes.
This is a complex procedure used to treat certain blood cancers, bone marrow disorders, and immune system disorders. It involves replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells from a donor (allogeneic transplant) or the patient's own bone marrow (autologous transplant).
Therapeutic Phlebotomy:
In conditions like hemochromatosis or polycythemia vera, excessive blood components are removed through a process called phlebotomy to maintain normal blood composition.
Plasma Exchange (Plasmapheresis):
This procedure involves removing and replacing a patient's plasma, often used to treat disorders like thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) or certain autoimmune conditions.
Gene Therapy:
For some genetic blood disorders like beta-thalassemia or sickle cell disease, gene therapy may be used to modify or replace faulty genes to correct the underlying issue.
Blood disorders are medical conditions that affect the composition or function of blood, including disorders of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
A CBC is a blood test that measures various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is a fundamental diagnostic tool in hematology.
A bone marrow biopsy is a medical procedure where a small sample of bone marrow tissue is taken, usually from the hip bone, to diagnose and evaluate blood disorders and bone marrow diseases.
Treatment for blood disorders varies depending on the specific disorder but may include medications, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, and other specialized therapies.
A blood transfusion is the process of infusing blood or blood products into a patient's bloodstream to replace lost blood components or treat certain medical conditions.
