Hematology

Overview

The SRV Hospital Hematology department provides the highest quality care to patients with acute and chronic blood disorders, including both adults and children. Our hemato-oncologists have extensive experience in their field, having worked both nationally and internationally. They also have extensive experience with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Our hospital takes great care in training our nurses and ancillary staff on how to care for adult and paediatric patients with blood-related disorders, including strict protocols for central venous access devices. We have a full multidisciplinary team of hemato-oncologists, lab hemato-pathologists, infectious disease specialists, surgeons, and laboratory technicians who collaborate to provide exceptional and compassionate care. Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to handle any medical emergency that may arise.

The department of Hematology at SRV Hospitals strives to offer the best care to the patients while staying aligned with all the latest innovations and trends.

Conditions

Haematology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study and treatment of blood-related diseases. Some of the conditions that may be treated by a haematologist include:

Anaemia

A condition in which there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body’s tissues, leading to fatigue and weakness.

Blood cancers

These include leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, which are cancers that affect the blood and bone marrow.

Bleeding disorders

These include haemophilia and von Willebrand disease, which are conditions that affect the body’s ability to form blood clots.

Blood clots

These include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which are conditions that occur when blood clots form in the veins or arteries.

Thrombocytopenia

A condition in which there are not enough platelets in the blood, leading to an increased risk of bleeding.

Thrombophilia

A condition in which there is an increased risk of blood clots forming in the veins or arteries.

Hemoglobinopathies

These include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, which are conditions that occur when blood clots form in the veins or arteries.

Myelodysplastic syndromes

A group of disorders in which the bone marrow does not produce enough healthy blood cells.

Haematologists may use a variety of diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and bone marrow biopsies, to evaluate and diagnose blood-related diseases. Treatment options may include medications, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, and other procedures to manage and treat the underlying condition. Haematologists may work in collaboration with other healthcare providers, such as oncologists, to provide comprehensive care for patients with blood-related conditions.

Symptoms of blood disorders

Symptoms of blood disorders can vary depending on the specific condition, but some common signs include:

  • Fatigue or weakness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Bruising or bleeding easily
  • Anaemia symptoms: pale skin, cold hands and feet, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, or weakness.
  • Blood in the urine or stool
  • Abnormal lumps or masses, such as lymph nodes or tumours
  • Pain or discomfort in the bones or joints
  • Recurrent infections
  • Rashes or purple discoloration on the skin
  • Abnormal blood clotting or excessive bleeding

It’s important to note that some blood disorders may not cause any symptoms in the early stages, or symptoms may develop gradually. In some cases, blood disorders may be discovered incidentally during routine blood tests or physical examination. If you have any concerns about symptoms you may be experiencing, it’s best to consult a doctor or a haematologist.

Advance Treatments with SRV Hospital

Treatment for blood disorders in haematology can vary depending on the specific condition and the severity of the disorder. Some common treatment options include:

Medications: such as blood thinners, antibiotics, chemotherapy, and immunosuppressants

Blood and platelet transfusions: to replace low levels of red blood cells or platelets

Bone marrow transplant: replacement of the cells that form blood

Surgery: to remove tumours or abnormal masses

Lifestyle changes: such as taking iron supplements, eating a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and quitting smoking

Physical therapy: to help with fatigue and muscle weakness caused by anaemia

Supportive care: to manage symptoms and improve quality of life

The goal of treatment is often to control the symptoms and prevent complications of the disorder. In some cases, a cure may be possible, such as in certain types of leukaemia or in aplastic anaemia. In other cases, treatment may be focused on slowing the progression of the disease and managing symptoms. Your haematologist will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

FAQ’s

During your initial visit, the doctor at SRV Hospital may perform additional diagnostic tests to fully understand your condition before suggesting treatment options. Once the testing is complete, the doctor will discuss the different treatment options that are available to you. Depending on the diagnosis, you may be referred to one or more forms of treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery.

To prepare yourself both mentally and physically for the journey of dealing with a blood disorder or cancer, it can be beneficial to utilise methods that have helped you cope with stress in the past such as meditation, religion, or hobbies. It’s also important to stay physically active under the guidance of your doctor, as it can help to alleviate the stress of your illness. Your doctor or nurse at SRV Hospital may recommend or prescribe medication to help prevent or reduce side effects of treatment. It’s important to communicate with your healthcare team if you are experiencing any discomfort or side effects.
