Dr. Nitin Sood

Dr Nitin Sood is Vice Chairman - Bone Marrow Transplant at Medanta, Gurugram and an experienced haematologist. He completed MBBS at Mysore University, then MD in General Medicine and DNB training after internship at Safdarjung Hospital. He subsequently moved to the United Kingdom for advanced training in clinical haematology and holds UK postgraduate haematology credentials.

His practice focuses on haemato-oncology, stem-cell transplantation and haemophilia. Medanta’s current profile lists leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and amyloidosis among the malignant blood disorders he treats. His scope also includes bone marrow and stem-cell transplantation for selected patients.

Dr Sood also manages bleeding and clotting disorders, thalassaemia, sickle-cell disease, aplastic anaemia and complicated anaemias. These conditions often require detailed interpretation of blood counts, bone-marrow studies, molecular or cytogenetic tests and transfusion history before a treatment or transplant strategy can be chosen. His UK haematology training supports assessment across both malignant and non-malignant blood disorders.

For patients being assessed at Medanta, useful records include recent CBC and coagulation results, bone-marrow reports, flow cytometry, cytogenetics or molecular testing, pathology and details of previous chemotherapy or transfusions.

Transplant decisions depend on diagnosis, disease status, donor availability, infection risk, organ function and overall fitness. The final plan may involve drug therapy, transfusion support, targeted treatment or autologous or allogeneic stem-cell transplantation depending on the disease and response to prior treatment.
