Hematology

Blood and Hematology

The word Heme came from Greek which means blood. Hematology involves the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have disorders of the blood and bone marrow. It is mainly responsible for the diagnosis of benign and malignant disorders of the red and white blood cells, platelets and the coagulation system in adults and children. Blood disorders are conditions that impact the blood's ability to function correctly; their patients may have a serious life- threatening illness such as leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma that requires chemotherapy.
