Why would I be referred to the Haematology Clinic?

The most common reason is your doctor has recommended that you see a haematologist because you are at risk for a condition involving your red or white blood cells, platelets, blood vessels, bone marrow, lymph nodes, or spleen. Some of these conditions are anaemia [low haemoglobin] or a disease that prevents your blood from clotting.

How would my doctor know I have a blood disorder?

This can be detected from your total blood counts which may show very high or very low levels of blood cells such as white cells, platelets, red cells or haemoglobin[Hb]. Blood disorders are also suspected if you have nose bleeds, recurrent infections, yellowing of your eyes, and other similar symptoms that point to blood disorders.

If I am referred to a haematologist does it mean I have blood cancer?

A referral to a haematologist does not mean that you have cancer. Among the diseases a haematologist may treat or participate in treating: Anaemia, sickle cell disease, liver disease, bleeding disorders like thrombocytopenia, and others.
