Hematology

Specialist evaluation of abnormal blood counts, anemia, bleeding disorders, and increased blood clotting risk, with personalized diagnostic and treatment plans.

Hematology Consultation

Clear answers to help understand abnormal blood counts and blood clotting disorders

Abnormal blood counts discovered during routine laboratory testing, persistent anemia, or a previous blood clot can raise many questions and concerns. However, laboratory results alone do not establish a diagnosis. Abnormal findings must always be evaluated in the context of the patient's symptoms, medical history, current medications, and previous test results.

Our hematology services focus on identifying the underlying causes of conditions affecting the blood and blood-forming system. Our specialists develop targeted diagnostic plans, carefully interpret relevant laboratory findings, and provide clear, understandable guidance on the recommended next steps.

What to know before your hematology appointment

Reviewing changes in previous laboratory results can greatly assist your hematologist in making an accurate assessment. A hematology consultation itself generally does not require fasting. However, if laboratory tests are scheduled for the same day, please follow the specific preparation instructions provided for those tests.

How should you prepare for your appointment?

  • Previous laboratory results: Whenever possible, bring all previous complete blood count (CBC) reports and relevant laboratory results, especially if the abnormal findings have persisted over time.
  • Medical documentation: Previous hospital discharge summaries and medical records relating to thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or bleeding episodes may provide important information for your assessment.
  • Current medications: Prepare a list of all medications you currently take, including their dosages. Be sure to include anticoagulants (blood thinners) and medications that affect platelet function.
  • Do not change your treatment without medical advice: Do not stop, skip, or adjust anticoagulants or other regularly prescribed medications before your hematology appointment unless specifically instructed by your physician.

When should you see a hematologist?

A hematology consultation is particularly recommended in the following situations:

  • Abnormal blood counts: Persistently elevated or decreased red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet counts, or repeatedly abnormal laboratory findings.
  • Anemia and iron deficiency: Low hemoglobin levels, recurring or persistent iron deficiency despite treatment, fatigue, pale skin, or weakness during physical activity.
  • Bleeding disorders: Frequent or unexplained bruising, recurring nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding, or unusually heavy menstrual bleeding that requires further evaluation.
  • Thrombosis and increased clotting risk: Evaluation following deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, including assessment of inherited or acquired thrombophilia when clinically indicated.
  • Enlarged lymph nodes or other hematologic abnormalities: Persistent lymph node enlargement, unexplained blood count abnormalities, or a request for a second opinion regarding an existing hematologic diagnosis.

Which clinics offer this medical specialty?

Swiss Premium Health Center Pest

Accurate blood count assessment with a comprehensive clinical perspective

Hematology focuses on conditions affecting the blood, blood-forming system, and blood clotting processes. Elevated or decreased laboratory values can result from a wide range of temporary or persistent conditions. For this reason, hematologists consider not only your current test results but also how those values have changed over time, your overall health, and your previous medical conditions.

During your specialist consultation, we carefully review your laboratory results and medical history. When necessary, we recommend targeted laboratory or additional diagnostic testing and coordinate care with specialists from other medical disciplines.

Have you received abnormal blood test results, or are you seeking expert guidance regarding unexplained anemia, a bleeding disorder, or a previous blood clot? Our hematologists provide a thorough review of your medical findings and develop a personalized diagnostic plan to help determine the most appropriate next steps.

Our main areas of hematology care and examination:

Blood counts and anemia

  • Evaluation of persistent or recurring abnormalities in complete blood count results
  • Investigation of the underlying causes of anemia and recurrent iron deficiency
  • Specialist assessment of abnormal white blood cell and platelet counts
  • Comparison and ongoing monitoring of previous laboratory findings

Bleeding and blood clotting disorders

  • Investigation of unusual bleeding episodes and frequent or unexplained bruising
  • Interpretation of abnormal blood coagulation test results
  • Hematology assessments relating to surgery or previous bleeding complications
  • Targeted specialist evaluation of suspected bleeding disorders

Thrombosis and specialist follow-up

  • Hematology evaluation following deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
  • Targeted assessment of increased blood clotting risk when clinically indicated
  • Evaluation of anticoagulant treatment duration and recommended follow-up care
  • Specialist second opinions regarding previously diagnosed hematologic conditions

Don't let your symptoms leave you with unanswered questions

Our experienced medical specialists and advanced diagnostic technology can help identify the underlying causes of your symptoms. Choose an appointment time that works best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our hematology services.

A hematology consultation may be recommended if your hemoglobin level or red blood cell, white blood cell, or platelet count is significantly or persistently outside the normal reference range. However, a single mildly abnormal result does not necessarily indicate an underlying disease. It is important to evaluate the finding alongside your previous laboratory results and current health condition.

Not necessarily. Anemia can have several common causes, many of which can be evaluated and managed without specialist care. A hematology consultation is particularly appropriate when the cause remains unclear, the anemia is persistent or recurrent, the abnormality is significant, multiple blood count values are affected, or the condition does not improve despite treatment.

Fasting is generally not required for the hematology consultation itself. However, if laboratory tests are also scheduled for the same day, preparation requirements will depend on the specific tests ordered. Please follow any instructions provided before your appointment.

No. Testing for an increased tendency to form blood clots is not routinely necessary after every thrombotic event. Your hematologist will determine whether targeted blood coagulation or genetic testing is appropriate based on the circumstances of the clot, your age, family history, possible triggering factors, and any previous thrombotic events.

Please bring previous complete blood count reports and laboratory results, hospital discharge summaries, medical documentation relating to thrombosis or bleeding episodes, and a list of your current medications. Having access to earlier test results allows your hematologist to evaluate how abnormalities have changed over time and develop a more informed diagnostic plan.
