Conditions Treated by Dr. Charu Batra Atreja
Dr. Batra Atreja provides expert care for a wide spectrum of hematologic conditions, including but not limited to:
1. Anemia
- Iron Deficiency Anemia: Caused by a lack of iron, leading to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia: Occurs when the body lacks enough vitamin B12, resulting in impaired red blood cell production.
- Hemolytic Anemia: A condition where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and an enlarged spleen.
2. Haemoglobinopathies
- Sickle Cell Anemia: An inherited disorder in which red blood cells become misshapen and block blood flow, causing severe pain and other complications.
- Thalassemia: A genetic disorder affecting hemoglobin production, leading to anemia, fatigue, and developmental delays in severe cases.
3. Bleeding and Clotting Disorders
- Hemophilia: A genetic disorder that prevents blood from clotting properly, resulting in prolonged bleeding even from minor injuries.
- Von Willebrand Disease: A common inherited bleeding disorder caused by deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor, essential for blood clotting.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): The formation of blood clots in the deep veins, usually in the legs, which can lead to serious complications if the clot travels to the lungs.
4. Blood Cancers
- Leukemia: A type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells. It includes acute and chronic forms of leukemia.
- Lymphoma: A type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, impacting the body's immune response.
- Multiple Myeloma: A cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, which leads to bone damage, anemia, and kidney problems.
5. Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
A group of disorders caused by the bone marrow producing poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells, leading to a higher risk of infections, anemia, and excessive bleeding.
6. Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes
- Aplastic Anemia: A serious condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, resulting in severe anemia, infections, and uncontrolled bleeding.
7. Platelet Disorders
- Thrombocytopenia: A condition characterized by low platelet count, leading to increased risk of bleeding.
- Thrombocytosis: Excessive platelet production, which can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Advanced Diagnostic and Laboratory Services
At at Crimson Healthcare, patients benefit from state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and laboratory services, ensuring accurate and timely diagnoses for effective treatment planning. These services include:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): A standard diagnostic tool used to measure red and white blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and platelet counts. CBC is essential for detecting anemia, infections, and other blood disorders.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy and Aspirate: This procedure is crucial for diagnosing various blood cancers, bone marrow disorders, and unexplained anemia. It helps assess the health of the bone marrow and identify any abnormal cells.
- Coagulation Testing: Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR): These tests assess the blood’s ability to clot and are essential for diagnosing clotting disorders like hemophilia or monitoring patients on blood thinners.
- Flow Cytometry: A sophisticated technique used to analyze blood or bone marrow cells. It helps detect lymphoproliferative disorders and acute leukemias by identifying specific cell types and markers.
- Iron Studies: Ferritin and Transferrin Saturation Tests: These tests are critical in diagnosing and managing iron deficiency anemia or iron overload conditions.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Dr. Batra Atreja believes in a tailored approach to hematology care. Each patient’s condition is unique, and treatment plans are developed based on the individual’s medical history, current health status, and specific needs. Treatment may include:
- Medications like iron supplements, vitamin B12 injections, or chemotherapy for cancer patients.
- Blood transfusions for severe anemia or blood loss.
- Bone marrow transplants for certain cancers and marrow failure syndromes.
- Anticoagulants or clotting factor replacements for patients with bleeding or clotting disorders.
