Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. It involves understanding the components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Hematologists diagnose and treat various blood disorders, such as anemia, leukemia, and clotting disorders.
In addition to diagnosing diseases, hematology also encompasses blood transfusions, bone marrow examinations, and the management of blood-related conditions. Advances in hematology have led to improved treatments and therapies, enhancing patient care and outcomes for those with blood disorders.
