Anaemia and Blood Disorders: Key Numbers
Anaemia is India’s most common blood problem. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) found anaemia in 57.0% of women aged 15 to 49 and 67.1% of children aged 6 to 59 months nationally. In Telangana, the figures were 57.6% of women and 70.0% of young children.
Most anaemia is caused by iron deficiency, with vitamin B12 deficiency common among vegetarians. A haematologist is needed when anaemia does not respond to treatment, when blood counts are unusually high or low, or for inherited conditions such as thalassaemia and for blood cancers.
Common Blood Tests Explained
| Test | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Complete blood count (CBC) | Haemoglobin, white cells and platelets |
| Peripheral smear | Shape and type of blood cells |
| Ferritin, iron studies, B12, folate | Causes of anaemia |
| HbA2 / haemoglobin electrophoresis | Thalassaemia trait and other haemoglobin disorders |
| Bone marrow examination | Blood cancers and marrow failure |
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- Records: all previous blood count reports, so trends can be seen.
- History: tiredness, bleeding, infections, weight loss, diet and family history.
- Examination: pallor, bruising, lymph nodes, liver and spleen size.
- Tests: smear, iron and vitamin studies, and bone marrow tests if needed.
- Plan: iron or vitamin replacement, transfusion, or specialist treatment for blood cancers.
How to Choose the Right Hematologist in Banjara Hills
- Check the qualification: look for a DM or DNB in clinical haematology, or FRCPath. Bone marrow transplant (BMT) or CAR-T training matters for blood cancers.
- Match the problem: anaemia, low platelets, bleeding and clotting disorders, thalassaemia and blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma need different expertise.
- Look at the set-up: a haematology lab, bone marrow testing, a blood bank, a day-care chemotherapy unit and a BMT unit make complex care possible.
- Bring your records: all complete blood count reports over time, peripheral smear, iron and B12 levels and any bone marrow reports help the visit.
- Ask about the treatment team: blood cancers are treated by a team including nurses, transfusion and infection specialists, so ask how care is coordinated.
Symptoms That Should Not Wait
Red-Flag Alert
Go to the emergency department at once for fever in someone receiving chemotherapy or with very low white cells, heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, a sudden swollen painful leg, sudden breathlessness or chest pain, or severe weakness with very pale skin.
When to See a Doctor in Hyderabad
Mild anaemia is common and often due to iron or B12 deficiency. A first assessment with a general physician is a sensible start. At Apollo Clinic, Narsingi, Dr. Ram Kumar can examine you, check your blood count, iron and B12 levels, start treatment and refer you to a haematologist if results are unusual.
