Hematology (discipline)

Hematology is the branch of medicine focused on studying blood, blood disorders, and the organs involved in blood production. It examines components like red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, as well as conditions such as anemia, clotting disorders, and leukemia. Hematologists diagnose and treat these conditions, often using blood tests and procedures such as bone marrow biopsies. Their work is crucial for understanding how blood functions in the body and for developing treatments that can improve patients' health and quality of life.
