What is hematology

 

Hematology is the study of blood and blood disorders. Hematologists and hematopathologists are highly trained healthcare providers

They specialize in diseases of the blood and blood components

These include blood and bone marrow cells. Hematological tests can help diagnose

anemia, infection, and hemophilia. They also include blood-clotting disorders, and leukemia

Hematologic diseases are disorders which primarily affect the blood and blood-forming organs

Hematologic diseases include rare genetic disorders, anemia, HIV, sickle cell disease and complications from chemotherapy or

transfusions

 

Blood Disorders (Hematology)
 We care for patients with benign and malignant disorders of the blood and lymphatic organs. Our multidisciplinary team of experts is on the leading edge of research and is committed to providing patients with the very best care and treatment.
 
Blood disorders and oncology fall under the same category because some of these blood disorders are pre-malignant in nature. In fact, some blood disorders, though not cancerous, can be treated with chemotherapy drugs
 
We care for the full spectrum of blood disorders, including:
 
Anemia
Bone marrow failure
Enzyme deficiencies
Hemophilia and Coagulation Disorders (problems with excessive bleeding or clotting)
Iron metabolism disorders
Myeloid disorders (white blood cells disorder)
Thalassemia
Thrombosis (including deep vein)
Von Willebrand's disease (bleeding disorder)
Hemophilia
We have dedicated coagulation, hemophilia and thrombosis clinics, a Blood and Marrow Transplantation program, plus multiple experts in myeloproliferative disorders. We also offer enzyme therapies (an alternate form of cancer treatment), and phase 1 therapies for some blood disorders
 
Therapeutic services include single-agent and multi-agent chemotherapy, "high dose" chemotherapy for bone marrow transplantation, immunotherapy (helps your body's own 
defenses fight the disease), blood transfusion, management of cancer and chemotherapy-related symptoms, and genetic counseling about cancer risk and chemoprevention

Hematology Center A blood disorder is self-explanatory: a condition affecting the cells of the blood of the circulatory system, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and the immune system. Blood disorders are classifiable into two groups:

Noncancerous blood disorders: Examples are thalassemia, aplastic anemia, and hemodynamic disorders like thrombosis and bleeding disorders. Cancerous blood disorders: Examples are acute and chronic leukemia and lymphoma. This type of blood disorder usually comes with symptoms like bruises (ecchymoses), nosebleeds (epistaxis), anemia, and lymph node swelling in the neck, groin, and armpit. The Hematology Center at BAGHAIE2 Hospital is poised to treat patients with every type of blood disorder. Every step is carefully thought-out for the patients, from consultation to diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment self-care,

Why the Hematology Center at baghaie2 Hospital? Treatment by doctors specializing in hematology Consultation for treatment planning and every step of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is under the supervision of subspecialists in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Prioritize the safety of patients under the care of nurses and pharmacists specialists in hematologic disease during chemotherapy sessions.

This specialized treatment is considered an organ transplantation. Plus, it requires expertise from specialist doctors, nurses, and facilities like a positive-pressure cleanroom with HEPA filters.

Nowadays, one can collect hematopoietic stem cells from peripheral blood after injecting substances that stimulate hematopoietic stem cells to migrate out of the bone marrow to the blood. This technique allows convenient collection and reduces the risks compared to a traditional surgical harvest in the operating room, becoming a popular way of stem cell collection.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is advantageous for treating cancerous and noncancerous blood disorders. For example, the procedure can cure acute leukemia and lymphoma and allow patients with multiple myeloma to live a prolonged life with better quality.

As mentioned above, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can also cure certain noncancerous blood disorders, such as aplastic anemia, pediatric thalassemia, and congenital immunodeficiency.
