Treatment & Procedures

Ear Irrigation

Ear irrigation, also known as "ear washing," is an effective method for removing earwax buildup and keeping ears clean. During irrigation, a syringe is used to inject liquid into the ears to help remove earwax. In medical terms, earwax is called cerumen. Earwax accumulation can result in symptoms including hearing loss, lightheadedness, and even ear…

Joint Injections

Drugs are injected with a needle straight into a joint, like the knee, during a Joint Injection procedure. The joint stiffness, pain, oedema, and inflammation may all be reduced by administering the injection. Additionally, it might minimise the accumulation of fluid and cells in the joint. A Joint Injection's effects often take a few months to wear…

Nebulizers

Nebulisers are a traditional method of administering drugs to the lungs. Liquid formulations are needed for these kinds of pulmonary drug delivery systems to create polydispersed particles within the range of inhalable sizes. Nebulisers are often used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and many others. They disperse…

Pulse Oximetry

Oxygen is a vital component that plays an essential role in cellular respiration. The process involves inhalation, which travels to the lungs and enters the bloodstream. The oxygen-rich blood is then circulated throughout the body to produce energy. The utilisation of oxygen by cells leads to the production of carbon dioxide, which is carried to the…

Skin tag removal

Skin tags, also called acrochordons, are small, non-cancerous growths that appear anywhere on the skin where there is friction, commonly on eyelids, necks, or underarms. Skin tags could be the same colour as your skin or darker. The causes of skin tags are unclear; however, studies associate them with insulin resistance and a high body mass index.

Spirometry

Spirometry is a type of pulmonary test that involves checking or measuring the amount of air you can breathe in and out of your lungs and the speed at which you can exhale to assess your lung function. Spirometry tests are used to help in the diagnosis and monitoring of various respiratory conditions, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive…

Women Care

Women's care in haematology is a specialised field focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of blood disorders unique to women or those presenting atypically compared to men. One of the primary concerns is menorrhagia (excessive menstrual bleeding), which can indicate underlying haematological conditions such as von Willebrand disease or…

Facilities & Services

Manipal Hospitals Broadway has various technologies with advanced capabilities, such as blood gas analysers, HbA1c machines, cell counter machines, microscopes, and centrifuges. The facility is also provisioned with several diagnostic tools for precise diagnosis, facilitating early interventions, which include performing a complete blood cell count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin, bone marrow biopsy, and imaging scans like positron emission tomography (PET) scan, computed tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. 

FAQ's

The symptoms of haematological disorders vary based on the specific blood component, i.e., red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), or platelets, and the organs that are impacted, the seriousness, and the extent of the condition. Usual symptoms may include: 

  • Fever

  • Shortness of breath

  • Extreme or light headache, or dizziness

  • Recurring infections

  • Fatigue

  • Impaired wound healing

  • Swollen lymph nodes

  • Increased heartbeat

  • Weakness and muscle

  • Pale colour skin (Pallor)

  • Abnormal clot formation due to thrombocythemia (increase in platelets)

Genetic testing is pivotal in assessing the chances of developing genetic disorders, as well as in screening and guiding medical interventions. Genetic testing aids in confirming several disorders, such as sickle cell anaemia, haemophilia, and thalassemia, and assists in determining the risks of passing a genetic disorder or family history. Moreover, genetic testing helps in prenatal testing to evaluate any possible genetic abnormalities in the foetus. It also helps in identifying any genetic or metabolic disorders in newborn babies, facilitating parents to allow early intervention and care. Genetic testing also plays a crucial role in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), where abnormal embryos are identified through genetic assays, enabling embryologists to transfer genetically normal embryos. 
 

Following proper nutrition and diet helps in maintaining platelet count. Your haematologist will tailor an individualised diet plan in case you have thrombocytopenia. General instructions, however, include:

  • Consuming foods that include folate, and vitamin B12, such as beef liver, black-eyes peas, and fish

  • Supplements like chlorella, melatonin, and papaya leaf extract

  • Avoiding supplements like ginseng, niacin, and ginkgo

  • Avoiding cheese, milk, juices and other unpasteurised dairy products

  • Avoiding vegetables or fruits that cannot be peeled

During your initial consultations with a haematologist, your onset of symptoms, medical history, general condition, family history, or past consultations, if any, are discussed. Your haematologist will check for any physical signs, such as enlarged lymph nodes under your armpit or on your neck region, colour of your skin, or any abnormal bruisings. Depending on your symptoms and physical examination, your haematologist may suggest specific imaging and diagnostic tests to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If a diagnosis is made or suspected, an appropriate treatment plan is crafted according to your needs and condition. Your haematologist will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, discuss any risks or complications of treatment, and recommend medications.  
 

 Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) involve a group of diseases caused by a decrease in the production of blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to low blood cell counts. Immature, new blood cells are produced by bone marrow and are matured over time. In myelodysplastic syndrome, these new blood cells either die or do not mature, manifesting symptoms, such as fatigue or infections. MDS is generally considered a type of cancer, and treatment usually includes drug therapy, supportive care, or chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation. The key difference between myelodysplastic syndromes, and blood disorders is that the former is caused due to bone marrow disorders, while the latter could be due to immune system dysfunction, infections, deficiency in nutrition, or environmental factors. 
 

Bone Marrow Transplantation is usually done as a last resort for individuals with extreme cases of blood disorders, such as advanced stages of leukaemia. Complications that could arise during or after the procedure include: 

  • Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs when transplanted cells attack the recipient's tissues or organs, impairing their immune system because the new cells fail to recognise the recipient's tissues or organs.

  • Thrombocytopenia and low red blood cell count, lead to abnormal bleeding

  • Damage to the kidneys or liver can occur as a result of standard treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

  • Severe immunosuppression, thereby increasing the risk for infections, secondary malignancies, or relapse

It is important to understand that the benefits of Bone Marrow transplantation outweigh the risks associated with it. Your haematologist will provide you with post-care instructions after the procedure and assess your progress by scheduling follow-up appointments.
