Hematologist

Blood is the link between organs and systems. It ensures the normal course of processes in the body. Blood functions:

  • Transport. Delivers oxygen and nutrients to cells, takes away decay products formed as a result of chemical reactions. It also transfers hormones involved in the regulation of many processes.
  • Regulatory. Maintains blood pressure, body temperature within acceptable limits.
  • Protective. The cells of the immune system fight viral, bacterial, fungal pathogens. Due to the work of the coagulation system, blood clots form at the site of vascular damage, which clog the opening, preventing blood loss.
  • Controlling. Circulating complexes are responsible for the removal of mutated cells that cause cancer.

With a deviation in the work of the circulatory system, not only its functions are disturbed, but also the work of the whole organism. The pathology is treated by a hematologist.

Hematology as a science includes diseases associated with changes in the number of blood corpuscles, and oncological pathologies of the hematopoietic system.

Examinations prescribed by a pediatric hematologist

First, the doctor examines the little patient, asks him and his parents. Then, to clarify the diagnosis and the severity of the condition, he directs the following to laboratory and instrumental studies:

  • Complete blood count - gives the morphological characteristics of blood cells, shows their number.
  • Coagulogram - reflects the work of the coagulation and anticoagulation systems.
  • Ultrasound of the spleen and lymph nodes - reflects the structure of organs, the presence of formations, inflammation.
  • Doppler ultrasound - evaluates blood flow through veins and arteries.
  • Lymph node biopsy - the doctor pierces the skin and underlying tissues, inserts a needle into the lymph node, and takes material. The laboratory doctor places the cells on a glass slide, stains, examines under a microscope. Important for confirming leukemia.
  • Sternal puncture - with a sharp movement, the doctor inserts a needle into the sternum, takes bone marrow cells for cytological analysis. Then they are stained, viewed under a microscope. The examination gives an idea of the state and work of the hematopoietic germs.
  • X-ray of the skull bones - changes appear with multiple myeloma.
  • Computed tomography or bone scintigraphy - evaluates the condition against the background of the disease.

Additionally, by the decision of the doctor, the following can be prescribed: general urine analysis, biochemical blood and urine tests; MRI, ultrasound, or CT of internal organs not listed above.

In some cases, it is required to examine not only the child, but also his closest relatives, since some of the diseases are inherited.

The pediatric hematologist is engaged in the identification, treatment and prevention of diseases of the hematopoietic and circulatory systems, takes measures aimed at preventing the recurrence of chronic pathology.

It is important to show patience and gentleness when working with children. The doctors of the K+31 clinic are able to find an approach to their little patients, as well as answer all the questions of their relatives.
