hematology
Hematology is the branch of medicine focused on blood-related disorders. Hematologists treat anemia, clotting problems, leukemia, lymphoma, and other conditions affecting the blood and bone marrow.
Hematologists diagnose and manage diseases related to blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic systems. This includes anemia, bleeding disorders, blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma), and clotting abnormalities. At Srinivasa Hospital and Nursing Home, our hematology specialists use advanced diagnostic tools like CBC, bone marrow biopsy, and coagulation profiles to ensure accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment for both common and rare blood conditions.

Frequently asked questions
A hematologist diagnoses and treats blood-related conditions such as anemia, clotting disorders, leukemia, lymphoma, and hemophilia.
It can range from mild to severe. Chronic anemia may affect organ function and should be evaluated for underlying causes.
Many blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma are treatable and even curable with early diagnosis, chemotherapy, and in some cases, bone marrow transplants.
Hemophilia is managed by replacing the missing clotting factor and preventing bleeding episodes with careful monitoring.
