What are the Tests for Diagnosis of Blood Diseases?
Blood diseases are diseases caused by the disruption of the formation, function or structure of blood and blood cells. For the diagnosis of blood diseases, various blood tests are performed on the patient. However, many different methods are used for the diagnosis of diseases. Some of the blood tests include hemoglobin, platelet count, hematocrit and whole blood cell count. After the test results are evaluated by specialized hematologists, specific tests can be performed if further examination is required. Complete blood cell count: Helps to diagnose anemia, inflammatory diseases and blood cancer. It also plays a role in monitoring infection and blood loss in the body. Platelet count: Helps to determine whether the patient has a bleeding disorder. Bone marrow biopsy: Helps diagnose anemia, thrombocytopenia, which includes having a low platelet count, and some cancers. Blood transfusion: Involves the body receiving intravenous (intravenous) blood that is healthy and suitable for the patient.
