From Wikipedia

Hematology (BE: haematology) is the branch of internal medicine and pediatrics that is concerned with blood, the blood-forming organs and blood diseases. Hematology includes the study of etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and prevention of blood diseases.

Blood diseases affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells, hemoglobin, blood proteins, the mechanism of coagulation, etc.

[परिवर्तन्] Hematologists

Medical doctors who work in hematology are known as hematologists. Their routine work may range from the management of the hematology laboratory, work at the microscope viewing blood films and bone marrow slides, interpretation of various hematology test results, care of in-patients and care of out-patients.

Hematologists may specialise further or have special interests, for example in:

• treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia
• treating hematological malignacies such as lymphoma and leukemia (onco hematology)
• treating hemoglobinopathies
• in the science of blood transfusion and the work of a blood bank
