Who is a Hematologist?

Hematologists are internal medicine doctors who have training in disorders related to the bone marrow, blood, and lymphatic system. They may work in hospitals, clinics, or blood banks. Hematologists who practice in labs are called hematopathologists. They are well- trained in pathology, a branch of medicine that studies body tissues and the blood with microscopes or tests.

If your primary care physician has advised you to see a hematologist, it might be because you are at risk for a disease involving the red or white blood cells, blood vessels, platelets, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes.

A hematologist:

  • Diagnoses and treats chronic and acute diseases that affect the blood including issues with blood clotting, blood cell production, and cancer
  • Provides screening of blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia, hemophilia
  • Performs a physical exam and studies the patient’s personal as well as family medical history
  • Orders and evaluates blood and genetic tests and also prescribes medications

A hematologist may also be known by the following names: blood disease specialist or blood doctor.

What are the qualifications of a Hematologist?

When choosing a hematologist, board certification plays a key role. A doctor might treat patients with blood disorders and conditions without being board certified in hematology. However, training, education, experience and certification establish the hematologist’s level of competence. Also, board certification tells whether the doctor has completed a training program and cleared an exam demonstrating their expertise in hematology.

This is the pathway:

• Graduation in medicine (MBBS) followed by post graduation programme (MD or DO).

• Residency training as well as certification exam in internal medicine

• More training (fellowship programs) and certification exams in hematology.

A hematologist treats conditions that involve the blood including:

  • Anemia
  • Bleeding disorders including von Willebrand disease and hemophilia
  • Blood cancer including lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma
  • Blood clots and clotting disorders, such as deep vein thrombosis
  • HIV/AIDs including anemia and AIDs-related lymphoma
  • Iron storage disorders including hemochromatosis
  • Malaria
  • Spinal Injury
  • Sickle Cell Disease
  • Hematological Disorders
  • Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
  • Thalassemia
  • Congenital Neutropenia
  • Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
  • Aplastic Anemia
  • Orthopedic Conditions
  • Neuromuscular Disorders
  • Multiple Myeloma
What diagnostic tests are required by a Hematologist?

  • Biopsy
  • Blood plasma and platelet tests
  • Genetic testing for sickle cell anemia and hemophilia
  • Laboratory tests including complete blood count
  • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
  • International normalized ratio

When should you visit a Hematologist?

Your primary care doctor may tell you to see a hematologist if you have the following symptoms:

  • Fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, weakness, headache, brittle nails, hair loss, shortness of breath
  • Irregular heartbeat, whooshing sound in the ears, pale or yellow skin

What can you expect from your first visit with a Hematologist?

You might not always come face to face with a hematologist. They often work closely with your pediatrician, internist, oncologist, or other primary doctor to study your test results or to evaluate your condition. A lab technician who collects your blood sample isn’t a doctor.

They will conduct a physical exam to test the functioning of the body. In addition to tests and physical exams, you could get a lot of information at your first appointment. You may need to bring a family member or friend along with you. The person you bring can help ask questions, listen, and take notes.

  • CAR-T
  • Bone Marrow Transplant
  • Stem Cell Therapy
