Haematology

Hematology involves the study of the blood, in particular how blood can affect overall health or disease. Hematology tests include tests on the blood, blood proteins and blood-producing organs.

These tests can evaluate a variety of blood conditions including infection, anemia, inflammation, hemophilia, blood-clotting disorders, leukemia and the body’s response to chemotherapy treatments. Tests may be routine and regular, or they may be called upon to diagnose serious conditions in urgent situations. In many cases, the results of a blood test can give an accurate assessment of body conditions and how internal or external influences may affect a patient’s health.
