HAEMATOLOGY

Haematology is a specialized field that deals with diseases of the blood, e.g. the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Dr. Coetser is able to diagnose and manage various haematological conditions:

  • Low blood count (anaemia)
  • Immune system deficiency
  • Low platelets (thrombocytopenia)
  • Blood cancers, e.g. myeloma, leukemia (in conjunction with a haematologist / oncologist)

A bone marrow biopsy can be done to aid diagnosis.
