What happens at a hematology appointment
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, past illnesses, the medicines and supplements you take and your diet, and women will also be asked about periods and pregnancies. They’ll check whether you or your relatives have bleeding that is hard to stop. Then the hematologist examines your skin, the inside of your mouth and eyelids, your lymph nodes and abdomen, and looks through your test results.
One test report is often not enough to draw conclusions. Bring all the blood test results you have, even old ones. Seeing how your values have changed over time helps the doctor tell whether a change is temporary or has been there for years.
Which tests a hematologist may order
Most often these are a complete blood count with differential, ferritin, vitamin B12, a coagulation panel and liver and kidney function tests. All of these are done at the clinic’s own laboratory, Diagnost-Lab, at 32 Sobornosti St. Sometimes the doctor adds other tests, such as a reticulocyte count or folate; you’ll be told about them and how to prepare when you book. To learn what the values on your report mean, see the article on the complete blood count.
You then come back to the hematologist with your results. They explain what the results mean and prescribe treatment or further tests. You can have the hematologist consultation and blood tests in Slavuta, without traveling to Khmelnytskyi or Kyiv.
If you already have a blood condition
Then your blood counts need regular monitoring. Your hematologist decides how often to repeat tests and come back for follow-up visits, based on how you are doing and on your results.
If you need treatment at a specialist hematology center, for example for leukemia, lymphoma or myelodysplastic syndrome, the Viva Clinic hematologist will help with the tests you need and give you a referral.
You can see a hematologist without a referral, and the consultation is paid. If you have signed a declaration with a Viva Clinic family doctor (in Ukraine, this is how you register with a primary care doctor), a complete blood count with differential is free when that doctor orders it.
Questions about seeing a hematologist
Do I need a referral to see a hematologist?
No, you can book a hematologist consultation without a referral, by phone or on Viber. The consultation is paid.
What should I bring to a hematologist?
All the blood test results you have, especially from recent months and years, so the doctor can see how your values have changed. Also bring medical reports, other test results and a list of the medicines and supplements you take, including iron and vitamins.
Which tests should I have before seeing a hematologist?
Usually a recent complete blood count with differential is enough, and the doctor will order anything else at the appointment. You can have it at Diagnost-Lab at 32 Sobornosti St. Blood is drawn in the morning on an empty stomach; water is fine.
What should I do if my blood test is abnormal?
Don't start treating yourself: a small change is often temporary. Show the result to an internist, family doctor or hematologist, who will decide whether you need a repeat test or further tests. If you also have a persistent high temperature, see a doctor the same day, and if bleeding won't stop, call an ambulance (103).

Anemia: symptoms, causes and what to do
Anemia means your blood has too little hemoglobin: for adults, the WHO uses a cutoff of 120 g/L for women and 130 g/L for men. It most often shows up as tiredness, shortness of breath on exertion, a racing heart and pale skin. Iron deficiency is the most common cause, but iron supplements should only be taken on a doctor's advice, once tests have confirmed that this is the cause.
High or low platelet count: causes and what to do
Platelets help stop bleeding, and adults usually have 150 to 400 ×10⁹/L, although the range printed on your report varies from lab to lab. Most changes are temporary: platelets rise after an infection or inflammation and with iron deficiency, and fall after viral infections or because of certain medicines or alcohol. Your doctor will interpret your result together with the other values on the test.
High white blood cell count: causes and what to do
White blood cells most often rise because of an infection or inflammation, but also after stress or hard exercise, during pregnancy and in smokers. For adults, doctors go by a range of roughly 4–10 ×10⁹/L, with an upper limit of 11 in some labs, so check the range on your report. For a small rise without symptoms, the doctor often suggests a repeat test, and if your count stays high with no clear cause, it's worth showing your results to a hematologist.
