The scientific study of blood, its formation and its diseases.
Hematology is the field of study that focuses on blood and its formation. It also involves the investigation and treatment of disorders that impact both the blood and the bone marrow.
Microscopic examination and counting of blood and bone marrow cells are crucial procedures for diagnosing various types of blood disorders, such as anaemia or leukaemia. Blood analysis is a valuable tool used in the diagnosis of a wide range of disorders, including specific blood-related conditions.
