Hematology
Hematology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of blood, blood-forming tissues, and disorders related to them. This specialty encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various blood diseases, including anemia, clotting disorders, leukemia, lymphoma, and other malignancies of the blood and bone marrow. Hematologists are trained to interpret blood tests, perform bone marrow biopsies, and provide therapies such as transfusions, chemotherapy, and targeted treatments. The field plays a critical role in understanding the complex functions of blood and the underlying conditions that affect overall health, making it essential for patient care and management of chronic diseases.
