NYC Hematologists

Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on blood disorders and diseases of the blood-forming organs. This includes conditions that arise when there are problems with white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), platelets, bone marrow and lymph nodes. Apart from these, hematology deals with hemostasis (the process that causes bleeding to stop) and thrombosis (the formulation of a blood clot).

 

The American Society of Hematology defines a hematologist as “a medical doctor who applies this specialized knowledge to treat patients with blood conditions.” The most common blood disorders are:

Overview of blood disorders

  • Bleeding disorders are conditions where the blood clots abnormally. An increased amount of clotting can lead to strokes and damage to the vital organs, while the inability to form clots can cause excessive internal bleeding. Hemophilia is rare, yet it is the most commonly known bleeding disorder.
  • Anemia is the most common type of blood disorder. Typically, it occurs when a person’s RBC count is lower than normal. A simple blood test can detect anemia. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute estimates that more than 3 million Americans are affected by this disorder. Weakness, irregular heartbeat, chest pain and shortness of breath are some of the signs of anemia.
  • Blood originates from the bone marrow, and this is typically where blood cancer starts. Blood cancer hampers the function of blood cells. Cancer causes uncontrollable growth of abnormal blood cells. Read this article on blood cancers by the American Society of Hematology to learn about the different types of blood cancer. According to a statistical study carried out by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), every three minutes a person is diagnosed with a type of blood cancer. You can check out more facts and figures published by the LLS here.

 

Quick tips for your visit to a hematology specialist

Here are some tips to help you make the most of your appointment with a hematology doctor:

  • Write down any questions and concerns that you’d like to discuss before your visit.
  • Make a note of your symptoms and medical history so that the doctor has all of the information.
  • Let the doctor know about any medications you may be on.
  • You can bring a friend or family member along for moral support.
