What a haematologist evaluates
A haematologist investigates disorders of the blood, bone marrow and clotting system. Common referrals include unexplained anaemia, low platelets or white cells, a rising white cell count, enlarged lymph nodes, abnormal protein tests, bleeding or bruising, and suspected leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma. The first step is to review the full blood count trend and prior reports rather than react to a single number.
- Anaemia that does not correct with iron alone
- Low or high platelets, neutropenia and pancytopenia
- Suspected leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma or MDS
- Bleeding, clotting and thrombosis problems
- Interpretation of bone marrow, flow cytometry and molecular reports

How the consultation is structured
The consultation begins with the symptom timeline, blood count history, medication and family history, and a focused examination for pallor, bruising, lymph nodes and spleen. Reports are reviewed line by line. Additional testing is recommended only when the result will change diagnosis, treatment or monitoring. Dr. Baniya explains what is known, what remains uncertain and what the next step is.
