Hematology

Hematology

Most hematological disorders have a known genetic component, so genetic diagnosis allows a differential analysis to determine the disease presented by these patients.

Haemorrhagic disorders

Bleeding disorders are abnormalities in blood clotting proteins that can lead to bleeding either spontaneously or after surgery or injury. The most common coagulation disorders are haemophilia and von Willebrand's disease. We offer the study of these pathologies, as well as an extended panel that includes the analysis of less frequent coagulopathies, such as coagulation factor V, VII and X deficiencies.

Platelet dysfunction

Platelet disorders refer to a group of diseases characterised by alterations in the production and function of platelets, cell fragments whose role is essential for proper blood clotting. We offer panels for both platelet dysfunction disorders, where there is an alteration in platelet function, and for diseases involving thrombocytopenia, i.e. a decrease in blood platelets.

Thrombophilias

Thrombophilias are a heterogeneous group of diseases due to alterations in blood coagulation that predispose to blood clotting and increase the risk of thrombosis. We offer the study of hereditary thrombophilias due to alterations in Factor II of coagulation (prothrombin) and Factor V of Leiden, as well as an extended panel where other hereditary thrombophilias are studied, such as Factor IX of Padua or antithrombin deficiency.

Erythrocytosis

Erythrocytosis is defined as an increase in the number of red blood cells and thus in haemoglobin levels due to an increase in erythropoiesis. Through various studies we analyse different types of familial erythrocytosis as well as polycythaemia vera, a disease included in the differential diagnosis of erythrocytosis.

Anemias

Anaemias are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by a decrease in the number or size of red blood cells or their haemoglobin level. The different panels cover the study of the main hereditary anaemias such as sideroblastic anaemia, dyserythropoietic anaemia, aplastic anaemia and haemolytic anaemia.

Haemoglobinopathies

Haemoglobinopathies are diseases in which there is a defect in the synthesis of one or more of the globin chains that form haemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen to the body's tissues. They are divided into thalassaemias, when there is a quantitative defect and one or more globin chains are not produced, or structural haemoglobinopathies, when the defect is qualitative. We provide panels for the study of the different types of thalassaemias and other types of haemoglobinopathies.

Iron metabolism defects

Diseases of iron metabolism are due to imbalances in the homeostasis of iron, an essential element for the organism. Since iron is essential for the proper functioning of hemoglobin, its deficiency leads to the development of hematological disorders such as anemia. We offer an expanded panel for the different iron metabolism diseases, as well as a specific panel for hemochromatosis, a disease characterized by high iron absorption, which accumulates until it damages the organs.
