Hematology

Hematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. Blood disorders can be acute or chronic and include anaemia, bleeding disorders and blood clots. They can also be inherited, due to disease and side effects of medicines, and from diet deficiencies. Includes the management of bone marrow which produces bone marrow stem cells and other substances; which in turn produce blood cells.
