Children's hematologist

A haematologist specializes in blood and hematopoietic system diseases. A paediatric haematologist primarily diagnoses and treats neoplastic diseases and coagulation disorders. They can refer you to any tests that help diagnose these and many other diseases.

When to visit a paediatric haematologist? The indication for a visit to the haematologist is primarily abnormal blood test results, and also other disturbing symptoms observed in the child, e.g. fatigue, loss of appetite, increased sleepiness, nausea, enlarged lymph nodes or bleeding.You should contact a specialist in case of occurrence: anaemia, polycythaemia, leukaemia, lymphomas, thrombocytopenia, thrombocythemia, coagulopathy.

In case you want to find a specialist who speaks a foreign language, we recommend that you read the profile of a doctor. You should click on the name of a specialist from the schedules above and go to a broader description of the doctor, which will include information on foreign languages. If the doctor does not have any visible additional languages, it means that she/he uses only Polish.
