Zoe K. Mcquilten is a hematologist based in Clayton, VIC. She works from 246 Clayton Road, Clayton, where she looks after people with a wide range of blood conditions and related problems.
In many cases, her patients are dealing with things like anaemia, low iron, and other types of blood cell issues. At other times, she helps when the body’s blood clotting system is not behaving as it should, such as bleeding or blood clots (venous thromboembolism). This can be a worrying time, and the focus is on getting things clear and making a plan.
Zoe also cares for people with blood cancers and bone marrow conditions. That can include leukaemias like acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), along with several lymphoma types. She sees patients with multiple myeloma, MGUS, and other monoclonal gammopathy conditions. Some people need care for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or aplastic anaemia, where the bone marrow is not making enough blood cells.
Her work isn’t only about diagnosis. She also looks at complications that can happen during treatment, like haemolytic transfusion reactions and ABO incompatibility. She may also be involved when people have problems such as haemolytic anaemia, paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), beta thalassaemia, or other haemoglobinopathies. In some situations, she helps families understand risks around pregnancy and the baby, including fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia and placenta previa.
Over time, Zoe’s patients can be dealing with more than one issue at once. For example, infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, West Nile virus infection, Zika virus disease, or other serious illnesses can overlap with blood problems. She also works with people who have immune-related conditions like common variable immune deficiency.
Where needed, her care can include treatment planning around bone marrow transplant and ongoing management for long-term conditions. The aim is steady, practical support, with decisions based on what’s going on in your blood test results and symptoms.
