At Askam Healthcare and Scientifics Pvt Ltd, our hematology services focus on the study of blood and its disorders. Blood plays a crucial role in carrying oxygen, nutrients, and immune responses throughout your body. Hematology tests help diagnose, monitor, and manage a wide range of conditions related to the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system.
What is Hematology?
Hematology is the branch of medicine that deals with blood, including red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Hematology tests help detect issues such as anemia, clotting disorders, infections, blood cancers, and immune system disorders. Understanding your blood’s health provides valuable information that guides your overall medical care.
Common Hematology Tests We Offer
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): A CBC is one of the most common blood tests and provides detailed information about the different components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. It helps diagnose conditions like anemia, infections, and various blood disorders.
- Blood Clotting Tests: Also known as coagulation tests, these help detect issues related to blood clotting, such as hemophilia or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). These tests ensure that your blood is clotting properly and not posing a risk of excessive bleeding or dangerous clots.
- Hemoglobin Tests: Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen. Abnormal hemoglobin levels can indicate conditions like anemia or polycythemia. Regular hemoglobin tests are essential for those with chronic conditions like sickle cell anemia.
- Bone Marrow Tests: Bone marrow tests are performed to examine how your blood cells are being produced. These tests help diagnose serious blood disorders like leukemia or lymphoma, providing critical information for targeted treatment.
Why Hematology Testing is Important
Hematology testing provides vital insights into your overall health. Blood disorders can often go unnoticed until they cause significant health problems. Regular hematology tests help detect these conditions early, allowing for timely treatment and better management of your health. Whether it’s a routine CBC or a more specific test for clotting, hematology plays a key role in diagnosing and treating a variety of medical conditions.
