What is Hematopathology?

Hematopathology is the clinical study directed at blood, lymph nodes and bone marrow. Typically, the primary conditions you might come across in this part of medicine are lymphoma, leukemia and anemia.

Heme-based diagnoses are often complex and require numerous rounds of tests and analysis to conclude a final diagnosis. As a qualified expert, below are just some of the conditions that I specialise in and can help you understand your results:

Hodgkins Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
Acute and Chronic Leukemias
Polycythemia Vera
Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF)
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET)
Multiple Myeloma
Histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Post-transplant related lymphomas
Follicular lymphoma
Mycosis fungoides
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
Sickle Cell anemia
Iron deficiency anemia
B12/Folate anemia
Mastocytosis
Thalessemias
Metastatic Disease to Lymph Node
Infections

Arriving to a final answer uses numerous medical processes and techniques such as differential diagnosis. These processes are often not explained to a patient with only the final diagnosis conveyed to them by a doctor. I will take my time and explain to you each result from your tests, their implications and what conditions were ruled out at every point. When presented with a diagnosis with potentially life-long impacts, it is important to understand how it was arrived to and I aim to give you just that - clarity.
