Our haematologists at Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham, provide diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting the blood, blood-forming tissues and related systems, including but not limited to the following:
Anaemia
Anaemia occurs when the blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells or haemoglobin to carry adequate oxygen to the body's tissues. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve nutritional supplementation, medicines, management of an underlying condition or other appropriate therapies.
Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Iron deficiency anaemia develops when the body does not have sufficient iron to produce adequate haemoglobin. Haematologists evaluate the underlying cause of iron deficiency and may recommend iron supplementation, dietary measures or treatment of conditions contributing to the deficiency.
Thalassemia
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects the body's ability to produce haemoglobin. Management depends on the type and severity of the condition and may involve regular monitoring, blood transfusions, medicines and other specialised care.
Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder in which abnormal haemoglobin causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and complications and may include medicines, blood transfusions and other therapies depending on the individual's condition.
Bleeding and Clotting Disorders
Bleeding and clotting disorders can affect the body's ability to control bleeding or form blood clots appropriately. Haematologists evaluate the underlying cause and may recommend medicines, replacement therapies or other measures to manage the condition and reduce associated complications.
Haemophilia
Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly because of a deficiency or reduced activity of certain clotting factors. Management may involve replacement of the deficient clotting factor and other treatments based on the type and severity of the disorder.
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia refers to an abnormally low platelet count, which can increase the risk of bleeding. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity and may include medicines, monitoring or other interventions when required.
Leukaemia
Leukaemia is a cancer of the blood-forming tissues that leads to the abnormal production of blood cells. Treatment depends on the specific type of leukaemia and may involve chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation or other specialised treatments.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer affecting the lymphatic system and includes Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Treatment is determined by the type and stage of lymphoma and may involve chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy or other approaches.
Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the immune system. Treatment may include medicines such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies, chemotherapy, corticosteroids, stem cell transplantation or other treatments depending on the patient's condition.
Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of disorders in which the bone marrow does not produce healthy blood cells effectively. Treatment depends on the specific type and severity and may include supportive care, medicines, blood transfusions or stem cell transplantation in selected patients.
Bone Marrow Disorders
Various disorders can affect the bone marrow and interfere with normal blood cell production. Haematological evaluation helps identify the underlying condition and determine an appropriate treatment and monitoring plan.
