What Does a Hematologist Do?
A hematologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats disorders related to blood, bone marrow, and the lymphatic system. These include a wide range of conditions such as anaemia, clotting and bleeding disorders, platelet abnormalities, and blood cancers like leukaemia and multiple myeloma. hematologists play a crucial role in interpreting complex blood tests, performing bone marrow evaluations, and initiating treatments like transfusions, iron chelation, immunotherapy, or chemotherapy. At Graphic Era Hospital, hematologists work closely with other specialists to provide integrated, patient-focused care. Their goal is to ensure timely diagnosis, targeted treatment, and long-term management for both acute and chronic blood-related conditions.

- Unexplained bruising or prolonged bleeding
- Frequent infections or delayed healing
- Low or high platelet count
- Abnormal hemoglobin or red blood cell levels

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a referral to see a hematologist?
While a referral from a general physician or specialist is helpful, patients can also consult a hematologist directly, especially if blood test results are abnormal or symptoms are persistent.
How safe are blood transfusions at Graphic Era Hospital?
The hospital follows strict protocols for screening, cross-matching, and monitoring during transfusions. All procedures are supervised by trained professionals in a dedicated day care setting.

A bone marrow biopsy is a short procedure where a small sample is taken from the hip bone under local anaesthesia. It helps diagnose blood cancers and marrow disorders.
Can rare blood disorders like thalassemia or hemophilia be managed long-term?
Yes. With regular monitoring, transfusions, chelation, or factor therapy, patients with chronic blood conditions can lead active, healthy lives under specialist care.
When should I see a hematologist instead of a general physician?
If you have unexplained fatigue, abnormal bleeding, frequent infections, or abnormal blood counts, it’s important to consult a hematologist for further evaluation and treatment.
