Haematology & Coagulation

Complete Blood Tests for Health, Anaemia, and Bleeding Disorders

🧾 What is Haematology & Coagulation?

Haematology is the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. It includes tests to measure red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and haemoglobin levels, helping diagnose anaemia, infections, and blood cancers.

Coagulation tests check how well your blood clots. They are essential before surgeries and for people with bleeding or clotting disorders like haemophilia, DVT, or those on blood thinners.

At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, our lab ensures accurate, quick results for your treatment and safety.
