Montefiore Einstein faculty hematologists specialize in treating a wide arrange of hematologic diseases and conditions:

1. Anemia: assessment of anemias, including infiltrative disorders, megaloblastic anemia including B12 and folate, iron deficiency, post gastric bypass anemias, hemolytic states, immune mediated hematologic diseases, drug effects, macroangiopathic anemias, hemochromatosis, malaria and other parasitic diseases of the red cell, aplastic anemia, myelodysplasia.
2. Hemolytic state and associated therapy: congenital (HS, HE, G6PD, PK, thalassemia, sickle cell, C, Hb E vs acquired immunohemolytic anemias (drug induced, autommune mediated, infection – parasitic, viral, bacterial, cold vs warm).
3. Sickle cell anemia/thalassemia: recurrent crisis, pulmonary hypertension, chronic vaso-occlusive organ damage, assessment of infectious complications, and transfusion related management
4. Congenital and acquired disorder in white blood cell production and function.
5. Diagnosis and management of leukopenia and leukocytosis
6. Thrombocytopenia and thrombocytopathy
7. Monoclonal immunoglobulin proteins, cryoglobulins, and cryofibrinogens
8. Congenital and acquired bleeding disorders
9. Diagnosis and testing for hemophilia and inhibitor evaluation
10. Unusual or unanticipated hemostatic problems following surgery, transplantation, and bypass
11. von Willebrand disease
12. Prothrombotic diathesis
13. Recurrent thrombosis or children with first thrombosis and management of therapy – type, duration, ancillary supports
14. Lymphadenopathy and splenic pathology
15. Hematologic issues in pregnancy: alterations in blood or platelet counts, bleeding or thrombosis associated with pregnancy, recurrent pregnancy loss due to thrombophilia, hormone-related thrombosis
16. HIV-associated blood abnormalities
17. Blood count abnormalities
18. Lymphoproliferative diseases, thrombosis and bleeding issues
19. Chronic transfusion support secondary to severe anemia, sickle cell with complications, thalassemia, MDS, and myelofibrosis
20. Iron overload assessment and treatment
21. Malignant hematologic disorders: chronic myeloid and lymphoid leukemias, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes, plasma cell dyscrasias, lymphoproliferative diseases, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinemia
