Hematology / Coagulation Profiles
HEMATOLOGY is the field that includes blood, blood forming tissue and bloodrelated disorders. A Hematology profile will provide general information on the blood
cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) as well as information about
hemoglobin, hematocrit and iron amongst others. This information can be used by your
physician to help him diagnose blood disorders such as:
Anemia
characterized by a lack of red blood cells.
Hematological Malignancies
such as leukemias, lymphomas and multiple
myeloma.
Polycythemia
characterized by an excess of red blood cells.
Thalassemias
which are characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production.
These disorders are more common in people of Mediterranean descent.
COAGULATION
is the process of clotting. Therefore, in the instance that excessive
bleeding (hemorrhage) and/or clotting (thrombosis) occurs the physician may order
coagulation tests to determine the causative agent. An example of a disease associated
with coagulation defects is:
Thrombophilia which is the predisposition of developing blood clots (thrombosis). Thrombophilia is a disorder often attributed to genetic predisposition.
Thrombophilia which is the predisposition of developing blood clots (thrombosis). Thrombophilia is a disorder often attributed to genetic predisposition.
