FAQ's Related to Hematologist

Pediatric Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant specialists diagnose and treat blood disorders, bone marrow diseases, immune deficiencies, and childhood cancers. These include thalassemia, sickle cell disease, leukaemia, lymphoma, haemophilia, aplastic anaemia, and other conditions requiring bone marrow transplantation.

You should consult a pediatric haematologist if your child has persistent anaemia, recurrent infections, unusual bruising or bleeding, abnormal blood counts, enlarged lymph nodes, or a diagnosed blood disorder.

A bone marrow transplant is a procedure used to replace damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It is commonly performed for certain blood disorders, immune deficiencies, and cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma.

The main types include autologous transplantation (using the patient's own stem cells) and allogeneic transplantation (using stem cells from a donor). The appropriate type depends on the patient's condition.

Recovery varies depending on the patient's condition and transplant type. Initial recovery may take several weeks, while complete immune system recovery can take several months to a year.
