🔬 What is Haematology?

Haematology is the branch of laboratory medicine that studies:

  • Blood
  • Red Blood Cells (RBCs)
  • White Blood Cells (WBCs)
  • Platelets
  • Hemoglobin
  • Bone Marrow
  • Blood Clotting Mechanism

These investigations help detect diseases at an early stage, monitor ongoing treatment, and assess overall health.

❤️ Importance of Haematology Testing

Blood tests help doctors to:

  • Detect anemia
  • Identify bacterial and viral infections
  • Diagnose inflammation
  • Evaluate immunity
  • Monitor chronic diseases
  • Detect leukemia and blood cancers
  • Assess bleeding disorders
  • Monitor chemotherapy
  • Evaluate nutritional deficiencies
  • Check overall health during routine medical examinations

🧪 Major Tests Performed

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

The CBC is the most commonly performed hematology investigation.

It Measures
Red Blood Cells (RBC)

Evaluate:

  • Oxygen carrying capacity
  • Anemia
  • Polycythemia
Hemoglobin (Hb)

Measures oxygen-carrying protein.

Low Hemoglobin may indicate:

  • Iron deficiency
  • Blood loss
  • Vitamin deficiency
  • Chronic diseases

High Hemoglobin may indicate:

  • Dehydration
  • Smoking
  • Lung diseases
  • High altitude adaptation
White Blood Cell Count (WBC)

Measures the body’s defense system.

High WBC

May indicate:

  • Infection
  • Inflammation
  • Leukemia
  • Stress

Low WBC

May indicate:

  • Viral infections
  • Bone marrow disorders
  • Certain medications
Platelet Count

Platelets help blood clot.

Low Platelets

May cause:

  • Easy bruising
  • Nose bleeding
  • Gum bleeding

High Platelets

May increase risk of blood clots.

Hematocrit (PCV)

Measures the percentage of blood occupied by red blood cells.

Useful in:

  • Anemia
  • Dehydration
  • Blood loss
RBC Indices

Includes:

  • MCV
  • MCH
  • MCHC
  • RDW

These help classify different types of anemia.

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate)

Measures inflammation inside the body.

Useful in:

  • Arthritis
  • Autoimmune disorders
  • Chronic infections
  • Tuberculosis
  • Monitoring inflammatory diseases
Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS)

Blood is examined under a microscope.

Detects:

  • Malaria parasites
  • Blood parasites
  • Abnormal blood cells
  • Leukemia
  • Sickle cells
  • Platelet abnormalities
Differential Leukocyte Count (DLC)

Measures five types of white blood cells:

  • Neutrophils
  • Lymphocytes
  • Monocytes
  • Eosinophils
  • Basophils

Helps identify:

  • Bacterial infections
  • Viral infections
  • Allergies
  • Parasitic infections
  • Blood disorders
Reticulocyte Count

Measures young red blood cells.

Used for:

  • Bone marrow function
  • Response to anemia treatment

Includes:

  • PT
  • INR
  • APTT

Used for:

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Liver disease
  • Anticoagulant therapy monitoring
  • Surgical fitness
Hemoglobin Variant Studies (where clinically indicated)

Useful in diagnosing:
