Benign Hematology / Anemia

Hematology is the study of blood in health and disease, including problems with the red and white blood cells. Our world-renowned pediatric hematologists specialize in treating children with blood conditions such as:

Iron deficiency anemia
Neutropenia
Lymphadenopathy
Aplastic Anemia
Thrombocytopenia

Complement Disorders

Children with rare diseases of the complement system, such as Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) and Paroxsysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), can lead to complications and failures of different organs. Our team diagnoses and treats these disorders in children.

Sickle Cell / Thalassemia

Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Healthy red blood cells are round and move through blood vessels to carry oxygen to all parts of the body. Red blood cells in children with sickle cell disease become hard and sticky, and get caught while traveling through small blood vessels, clogging the blood flow.

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder caused when the body doesn’t make enough hemoglobin, an important protein of red blood cells.

Vascular Anomalies

A vascular anomaly is a kind of birthmark caused by a disorder of the vascular development not always present at birth. This is caused by a defect in the child’s blood vessels that can affect capillaries, arteries, veins, lymphatics or a combination of these.

Hemangiomas and vascular malformations are the two major groups of vascular anomalies and require different treatment.
