Haematology is the branch of medicine concerned with the study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases related to blood. It involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components, such as blood cells, haemoglobin, blood proteins, bone marrow, platelets, blood vessels, spleen, and the mechanism of coagulation. Such diseases might include haemophilia, blood clots (thrombosis), other bleeding disorders and blood cancers such as leukaemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. The term haem is from the Greek haima meaning blood.
