What is Hematology?

Hematology is a branch of medicine concerning the study of blood, blood-forming organs such as bone marrow, and blood-related disorders and diseases. The word “heme” comes from the Greek word for blood. Hematological tests are used to detect and diagnose diseases such as haemophilia, anaemia, leukaemia, sickle-cell anaemia, lymphomas, and several infections.

Who is Hematologist?

Hematologists are healthcare providers who specialize in diagnosing, treating and managing diseases that affect your blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Blood diseases may be benign (noncancerous) disorders or malignant (cancerous). Blood disorders and blood cancer may have mild symptoms or be life-threatening.

What does a hematologist do?

Hematologists diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of diseases that affect your blood cells. Blood diseases may be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Some diseases keep your blood from flowing (blood clots). Other diseases make you bleed more than normal. Blood disorders and blood cancer may have mild symptoms or be life-threatening.

When would I need to see a hematologist?

You may need to see a hematologist because your primary healthcare provider wants a blood specialist to review your blood test results. It’s important to remember that initial blood test results aren’t signs of serious illness.

What are common blood diseases?

We rely on our blood for many things. Red blood cells give our body energy by carrying oxygen to tissues throughout our bodies. White blood cells help our immune system fight infection.

If you have a blood disease, it means one or more parts of your blood aren’t working as they should. Some blood diseases (disorders) are benign, meaning they aren’t cancer but they’re still serious illnesses.
