What is Hematology?

Hematology is the medical study of blood and blood-forming tissues. In dermatology, analyzing your blood is often a crucial step in diagnosing complex skin, hair, and nail conditions. Many visible symptoms, such as unexplained hair loss, chronic hives, or unusual bruising, can be directly linked to internal factors like anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or bleeding disorders.
At Kigali Dermatology Center, we use hematology testing to gain a comprehensive understanding of your overall health and how it impacts your skin's appearance and function.

How does Hematology work?

If your dermatologist suspects that an internal blood-related issue is affecting your skin health, they will order a specific hematology test. A routine blood draw is safely performed and securely sent to a medical laboratory for detailed analysis. The lab will examine various components of your blood, such as red and white blood cell counts, platelets, and vital nutrient levels.

Once the detailed results are returned, our board-certified dermatologists will review them with you carefully. This precise information allows us to accurately diagnose the root cause of your condition and prescribe a targeted, effective treatment plan.

I visited late on a Saturday and while I was referred through someone to Dr Kayatesi, Dr Fatima was great. I was in within 30 min and she prescribed me quickly what I needed to be on my way. The front desk and nurse was also professional, the place was clean and easy to get.
