From managing anaemia and clotting disorders to treating complex haematological malignancies like leukaemia and lymphoma, our team of highly skilled haematologists ensures each patient receives the highest standard of care.
When to Consult a Haematologist?
Haematological conditions can manifest in various ways, often with symptoms that overlap with other health issues, making them difficult to diagnose. That said, early detection and intervention by a haematologist can significantly improve outcomes. You should consider consulting a haematologist if you experience any of the following symptoms or conditions:
- Persistent Fatigue or Weakness: Chronic tiredness, even after adequate rest, may indicate anaemia or other blood disorders affecting oxygen transport.
- Unexplained Bleeding or Bruising: Frequent nosebleeds, heavy menstrual bleeding, or excessive bruising may signal platelet or clotting issues such as haemophilia or von Willebrand disease.
- Swollen Lymph Nodes: Enlarged, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin could indicate a lymphatic system disorder or blood cancer.
- Prolonged Infections: Recurrent or prolonged infections may suggest low white blood cell counts, often associated with immune system deficiencies or bone marrow problems.
- Abnormal Blood Test Results: Findings such as unusually high or low red, white, or platelet counts in routine tests warrant further investigation by a haematologist.
- Family History of Blood Disorders: Genetic predispositions, such as sickle cell disease, thalassaemia, or haemophilia, require monitoring and specialised care.
- Symptoms of Clotting Disorders: Signs such as leg swelling, pain, or sudden shortness of breath may indicate blood clot-related issues like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
Understanding the Causes of Haematological Diseases
Haematological diseases result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Understanding the underlying causes helps in developing tailored treatment plans. Here are the primary contributors:1. Genetic Factors
Some blood disorders, such as sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia, and haemophilia, are inherited. These conditions arise from mutations in genes responsible for producing functional blood cells or clotting factors.
2. Nutritional Deficiencies
A deficiency in critical nutrients like iron, vitamin B12, or folate can impair red blood cell production, leading to anaemia. Proper nutrition plays a key role in maintaining healthy blood composition.
3. Autoimmune Disorders
Conditions like lupus or autoimmune haemolytic anaemia can cause the immune system to mistakenly attack and destroy healthy blood cells.
4. Infections
Chronic infections, such as malaria or HIV, can damage blood cells or bone marrow, leading to severe haematological complications.
5. Chronic Diseases
Underlying conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, or cancer, can indirectly affect blood health by altering bone marrow function or blood cell lifespan.
6. Environmental Toxins
Prolonged exposure to harmful chemicals, radiation, or certain medications may disrupt normal blood cell production, increasing the risk of disorders like leukaemia.
7. Ageing and Degenerative Processes
As the body ages, natural changes in bone marrow can lead to reduced blood cell production, making older adults more susceptible to anaemia and other disorders.
Identifying the specific cause is essential for precise treatment, and our haematology experts at Graphic Era Hospital excel in this aspect.
