• frequent nosebleeds;
• weakness increased fatigue;
• bone and joint pain;

Diagnosis of the disease

Reception of a haematologist begins with listening to the patient’s complaints and studying the history of his illness – the doctor asks when the first symptoms of pathology appeared, clarifies whether there are concomitant diseases. For a thorough diagnosis and selection of a therapy regimen, the doctor usually requires additional research. Depending on the information received during the examination of the patient, the haematologist may prescribe: 

• ultrasound of the lymph nodes, abdominal cavity; 
• laboratory blood tests (biochemistry, coagulogram and others); 
• X-ray examination of blood; lymph node biopsy; 
• computed (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Based on the data obtained, the specialist will draw up an individual treatment regimen, taking into account the general condition of the patient and the characteristics of the development of the pathology. As a therapy, conservative treatment is often used, which consists of taking medications, adhering to a diet, and carrying out physiotherapy. In extreme cases, the doctor may prescribe surgery or bone marrow transplant.
