About clinical hematology

Understanding your blood, explained with care

Clinical hematology is the medical specialty focused on the blood, bone marrow and the body’s clotting system. Hematologists assess conditions affecting red cells, white cells and platelets, as well as bleeding and clotting problems.

At ZIADE Polyclinic, hematology is one of our principal areas of focus, with particular expertise in benign blood conditions. Our consultants combine careful assessment with laboratory support and clear explanations, so you understand your results and your next steps.

Expertise in harmony, around one patient

Blood findings often connect with other areas of health. Through our multidisciplinary committee, hematology works closely with oncology, clinical immunology and rheumatology to assess complex cases, review findings and jointly guide care plans.

Where additional specialist input is needed, the clinic arranges and coordinates it — while remaining central to your care.

Can’t find your answer? Our team is happy to help.

Common reasons include an abnormal blood count on a routine test, anaemia that is unexplained or not improving, easy bruising or bleeding, a history of blood clots, or a family history of a blood condition. Your family doctor may also refer you.

You can request an appointment directly. If you have a referral letter or previous results, please bring them — they help your hematologist understand your history.

Bring any recent blood test results, a list of current medicines and supplements, relevant medical reports, and your insurance details.

Our laboratory supports hematology testing and related investigations. Your physician will explain which tests you need and how and when results will be shared.

For complex cases, physicians across hematology, oncology, clinical immunology and rheumatology review findings together through our multidisciplinary committee and jointly guide your care plan.

If you need a service that is not available at the clinic, your physician will explain the options and arrange the referral, while remaining involved in your ongoing care.
