What Can a Hematologist Diagnose?

Cochise Oncology’s hematologists can diagnose a vast array of conditions, including:

• Sepsis – a systemic infection in the blood that can result from a localised infection (for instance a wound or a tooth abscess)
• Hemophilia – a genetic condition where the blood has a greater tendency to clot
• Sickle cell disease – a condition in which red blood cells do not form correctly
• Cancers of the blood, bone marrow and lymph nodes
• Deep vein thrombosis – a condition in which blood clots inside veins deep in the body, usually the legs
• Anemia – a condition in which a patient has a naturally low red blood cell count

In most cases, hematologists will take blood samples and evaluate them in a laboratory to diagnose your condition. A complete blood count, for instance, lets them identify and monitor disease. Usually, they will take a sample from a vein or the tip of your finger and then check for levels of various blood cells and platelets. Sometimes, they will check your prothrombin time – a measure of how long it takes your body to form a clot in response to a pin prick. And they may also perform blood transfusions to replace lost blood after surgery or apply chemotherapy for various fast-growing cancer cells.
