Hematology

Definition of Hematology as it relates to Science, Medicine

Hematology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to blood. It encompasses the study of the physiology of the blood, the examination of blood samples, and the analysis of various components of the blood including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma proteins. Practitioners in this field are known as hematologists, who often work closely with oncologists to treat cancers of the blood such as leukemia and lymphoma. Hematology also involves the study of diseases that affect the bone marrow, spleen, and vascular system, and includes the diagnosis and management of conditions such as anemia, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and thrombocytopenia. Overall, hematology is a crucial field in medicine, as blood disorders can have significant impacts on a person's health and quality of life.
