Hematology is a specialized branch of medicine that studies blood, blood-forming organs, and blood-related diseases. This field examines the structure and function of blood cells as well as their role in the body. In addition to studying the mechanisms that ensure the proper functioning of blood, hematology also focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various blood disorders. Serious conditions such as anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, blood clotting disorders, and blood cancers are at the core of hematology. This field is not limited to treating blood diseases—it also plays a critical role in maintaining overall health.
