"Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood."
The study of blood and its diseases.
Blood Composition: Understanding the different components of blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, and their respective functions.
Hematopoiesis: The process by which blood cells are formed in the bone marrow and differentiate into different types of blood cells.
Anemia: A condition in which there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
Hemoglobinopathies: Genetic disorders that affect the structure or production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.
Hemostasis: The process by which the body stops bleeding after an injury, involving platelet aggregation, blood vessel constriction, and blood coagulation.
Thrombosis: The formation of a blood clot within the blood vessels, which can lead to serious complications such as stroke or heart attack.
Leukemia: A group of cancers that affect the blood-forming tissues in the bone marrow and result in the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells.
Lymphoma: A type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is responsible for fighting infections and diseases.
Hematological Tests: Various laboratory tests used to diagnose and monitor blood disorders, such as complete blood count, blood smear, and bone marrow biopsy.
Transfusion Medicine: The study of the collection, testing, preparation, and use of blood and blood components for transfusion to patients.
"Hematology (always spelled haematology in British English)..."
"It involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, bone marrow, platelets, blood vessels, spleen, and the mechanism of coagulation."
"Such diseases might include hemophilia, sickle cell anemia, blood clots (thrombus), other bleeding disorders, and blood cancers such as leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma."
"The laboratory analysis of blood is frequently performed by a medical technologist or medical laboratory scientist."
"The branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood."
