More about haematology

Haematology is a branch of medicine specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases. Haematology studies blood cells: leucocytes, platelets and red blood cells, as well as bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and various proteins responsible for bleeding and blood clotting. Blood diseases can be malignant, the most common being lymphomas, chronic and acute leukaemias and myeloma. But often changes in blood tests can be secondary to another disease, and then the GP or specialist will assess whether a haematologist is needed. Haematology also includes so-called non-malignant diseases such as blood clotting disorders (e.g. congenital such as von Willebrand disease and haemophilia), autoimmune diseases (autoimmune thrombocytopenia, haemolytic anaemia), deficiency anaemias, etc.
