What is Hematology?
Hematology is the medical science that deals with the study of blood, blood-forming organs, and blood diseases. It includes understanding how blood is produced, how it functions, and what happens when abnormalities occur.
Hematologists diagnose and treat disorders affecting red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, and plasma. This specialty also includes management of blood cancers and complex coagulation disorders. In advanced cases, procedures like bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow transplantation are used to restore normal blood function.
