Introduction
Hematology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system. Hematologists manage a wide range of conditions, from common issues such as anemia and iron deficiency to complex diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, clotting disorders, and bone marrow failure syndromes.
Many blood-related conditions require advanced diagnostic evaluation, including specialized laboratory testing, imaging, and sometimes bone marrow examination.
Accurate diagnosis is essential, as treatment plans vary significantly depending on the underlying cause.
