Hematology

Hematologists at North Mississippi Medical Center treat problems with the blood, including problems with red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, lymph nodes, bone marrow, blood vessels and spleen, in addition to problems with bleeding and clotting.

The most common blood disorders include:

• Anemia
• Bleeding disorders such as hemophilia

If you believe you have a blood condition, talk to your primary care physician first. If you have a blood disorder, your doctor may refer you to a hematologist.
