The Department of Hematology in American Hospital provides a comprehensive clinical, analytical and interpretative service in all aspects of Hematology. Hematologists evaluate and treat patients with anemia; too many or too few white cells or platelets; enlarged lymph nodes or spleen; bleeding and clotting disorders; and malignancies (cancers) which affect the blood, including leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myeloproliferative disorders.
Hematologists prescribe blood product administration and removal of excess blood components as needed for a variety of blood disorders. They also prescribe immunosuppressive and growth factor drugs and biological therapy for benign and malignant blood disorders. Stem cell and bone marrow transplantation are considered part of the specialty of Hematology.
