Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of diseases of the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. Hematologists evaluate and treat diseases affecting blood cells, which perform vital functions in our bodies such as carrying oxygen, fighting infections, and stopping bleeding.
At Atlas University Hospital’s Hematology Department, the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases are carried out with a patient-centered approach, in light of current scientific data. Thanks to our experienced team of specialists, advanced diagnostic facilities, and multidisciplinary approach, we provide comprehensive healthcare services to our patients.
What diseases does hematology deal with?
The Hematology Department diagnoses and treats numerous benign and malignant blood disorders. Our main areas of interest are:
- Anemia and iron deficiency
- Blood disorders caused by vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency.
- Bleeding and clotting disorders
- Platelet (blood platelet) diseases
- Hemophilia and other inherited bleeding disorders
- Mediterranean anemia (thalassemia) and sickle cell disease
- Bone marrow failures
- Leukemia (blood cancer)
- Lymphoma (lymph node cancers)
- Multiple myeloma
- Myelodysplastic syndromes and myeloproliferative diseases
- Lymph node enlargement and unexplained changes in blood test results.
What symptoms warrant a visit to a hematologist?
Prolonged weakness and fatigue, paleness, frequent infections, easy bruising, unexplained bleeding, enlarged lymph nodes, spleen enlargement, or abnormalities in blood values detected during routine tests may be indicative of hematological diseases. In such cases, evaluation by a hematologist is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment.
Comprehensive Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
In our department, we aim to reach an accurate diagnosis by using detailed laboratory investigations, bone marrow evaluations, and advanced diagnostic methods according to the needs of our patients. After diagnosis, personalized treatment plans are created for each patient, taking into account their individual characteristics.
Our aim at the Hematology Department of Atlas University Hospital is to improve the quality of life of our patients and to support them on their health journey with a reliable, ethical, and patient-centered healthcare approach that closely follows scientific developments.
