Hematology Health Questions
Anemia is often a symptom of an underlying condition. Internists are experts at investigating the root cause, whether it's a nutritional deficiency (like iron or B12), chronic disease, or internal bleeding. We treat the anemia while also addressing the primary health issue.
Abnormal results on a complete blood count (CBC) are a common starting point for a hematologic evaluation. As your primary care internist, we will interpret these results in the context of your overall health, order follow-up tests if necessary, and determine the next steps.
Signs of a bleeding disorder can include easy bruising, frequent nosebleeds, or prolonged bleeding from minor cuts. Signs of a clotting disorder might include unexplained swelling and pain in a leg or sudden shortness of breath. Any of these symptoms warrant a comprehensive medical evaluation.
