Haematology

What is Hematology?

Hematology is the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Coagulation studies detect anaemia, infection, blood cancers, as well as bleeding and clotting disorders. It treats diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells, blood vessels, haemoglobin, bone marrow, and platelets.
