Andrew C. Perkins is a Melbourne haematologist. He works from 99 Commercial Rd, Melbourne, VIC 3004. Haematology is the part of medicine that looks after blood and blood-forming organs, including bone marrow. It also covers issues like bleeding problems, clotting problems, and long-term blood conditions.
In clinic, Andrew cares for people with problems such as anaemia and different types of blood cancers, including acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and other leukaemias. He also looks after myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) such as polycythaemia vera and essential thrombocythaemia. At times, these conditions can affect how the body makes blood cells, and they can also lead to symptoms like feeling very tired, feeling short of breath, unusual bruising, or an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly).
He also works with clotting and bleeding issues. This can include blood clot problems, thrombocytopenia (low platelets), and rare inherited conditions such as congenital afibrinogenaemia and familial hypofibrinogenemia. Blood breakdown problems are also part of his patient mix, including haemolytic anaemia and conditions that affect haemoglobin, like thalassaemia and alpha thalassaemia.
Some patients also need help with conditions linked to newborn and pregnancy care, including haemolytic disease of the newborn and hydrops fetalis. There are also cases involving systemic mastocytosis and hypereosinophilic syndrome. Over time, he helps people manage ongoing symptoms and work through treatment decisions with their other treating teams.
Public details about Andrew’s education and past experience aren’t listed here, but his work focuses on hands-on care for blood disorders in both outpatient and hospital settings. Research involvement and any clinical trials aren’t specifically listed either, so it’s best to ask the clinic if you want to know what options might be available for your situation.
