Haematology

Overview of Haematology Tests and their Importance 

Haematology tests check your blood for signs of illness or irregularities. These tests help doctors understand your health and detect conditions early. A haematology test focuses on key components of your blood, including the following. 

• Red Blood Cells (RBCs) – These cells carry oxygen throughout your body.
• White Blood Cells (WBCs) – WBCs fight infections and support your immune system.
• Platelets – They help the blood to clot to stop bleeding.
• Haemoglobin – It is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

The Common Conditions that Haematology Tests Can Detect 

There are several instances when doctors can recommend a haematology test. Listed are the common conditions that a haematology test at our clinic can detect. 

• Anaemia – Low red blood cell or haemoglobin levels causing fatigue and weakness.
• Infections – High or low WBC counts may signal bacterial or viral infections.
• Clotting Issues – Platelet abnormalities that affect how your blood clots.
• Leukaemia – Changes in blood cell production that could indicate blood cancers.
• Vitamin Deficiencies – Lack of nutrients like B12 or folate.

These tests are crucial for early detection and can help you and your doctor take action before issues worsen.
