What does a Haematology doctor do?
A haematologist deals with diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs: iron- and vitamin-deficiency anaemias, thalassaemia (an inherited blood disorder common in Azerbaijan), clotting disorders, low or high platelet counts, and onco-haematological diseases such as leukaemia and lymphoma. Patients are often referred to a haematologist first to clarify abnormal results in a complete blood count.
Common reasons to consult
- Low haemoglobin (anaemia)
- Thalassaemia carrier status
- Easy bruising and bleeding
- Low platelet count
- Abnormal white blood cells
- Enlarged lymph nodes
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a haematologist if my haemoglobin is low?
Mild iron-deficiency anaemia can be treated by a family doctor. A haematology consultation is needed when the anaemia does not respond to iron, the cause is unclear, or other blood values are abnormal too.
What does it mean to be a thalassaemia carrier?
Carriers usually have mild anaemia and need no treatment. However, a child of two carriers is at risk of the severe form, so it is important for both partners to be checked by a haematologist before marriage or pregnancy.
Is frequent bruising a concern?
Bruises after minor knocks or without any cause, bleeding gums and nosebleeds, and cuts that bleed for a long time can point to a platelet or clotting disorder. See a haematologist with a complete blood count and clotting tests.
Why is a bone marrow examination done?
To pin down the cause of a disturbance in blood-cell production — for example unexplained anaemia, suspected leukaemia or a sharp fall in platelets. It is a 15–20-minute procedure done under local anaesthetic.
