Hematology is the study of blood and blood disorders. Hematologists and hematopathologists are highly trained healthcare providers who specialize in diseases of the blood and blood components. These include blood and bone marrow cells. Hematological tests can help diagnose anemia, infection, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, and leukemia. This area of hematology focuses on diagnosing and treating blood cancers, such as myeloma. Blood cancers start in the cells of the immune system or tissues that make blood cells, such as bone marrow. Anemias are conditions that lead to low levels of hemoglobin or red blood cells in the body.
