Haematology is the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. Hematology tests, or hematological tests, are laboratory assessments that can help diagnose a variety of conditions involving blood and its components. These tests can help diagnose diseases such as anemia, infection, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, leukemia, and sickle-cell anemia. They can also evaluate a patient’s response to chemotherapy.
Some examples of hematology tests include:
Department of Hematology
• Prothrombin time: Checks platelet function in bleeding and coagulation
• Diascopy: Determines whether a lesion is vascular, nonvascular, or hemorrhagic
• D-dimer assessment: Checks for thrombotic disorders
• Electrophoresis: Examines proteins in the blood such as haemoglobin
Hematologists are highly trained healthcare providers who specialize in diseases of the blood and blood components. They work with patients in hospitals and out-patient clinics, and also advise GPs on how to care for patients in their homes.
