What is Hematology?

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. It commonly involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood, such as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, and clotting disorders. Hematology utilizes laboratory tests (blood counts, blood smears, bone marrow biopsies) and clinical evaluation to assess blood health and guide treatment strategies, including medications, transfusions, and stem cell transplants.
