Hematology
Hematology is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the blood and blood-forming organs, including the bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen.
To better define the role of a specialist in Hematology, the hematologist’s work can be divided into three main areas:
– Laboratory and Clinical Diagnostics: the specialist not only examines the patient, but also interprets complex diagnostic tests, such as complete blood counts, bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy, to identify abnormalities affecting blood cells and their components.
– Management of blood disorders: this includes conditions affecting blood components, such as anemia, coagulation disorders including hemophilia and thrombophilia, and diseases involving the immune system.
– Hemato-oncology: this area focuses on the diagnosis and management of malignant blood disorders such as acute and chronic leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. It may involve highly specialized treatments, including chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies and stem cell transplantation.
In summary, the hematologist specializes in the blood-forming system and the health of its components, combining diagnostic expertise with the clinical management of complex systemic diseases.

Hematology Consultation
A hematology consultation is the first step for patients with abnormal blood test results or symptoms that may be related to hematological or hemato-oncological conditions. The specialist reviews the patient’s medical history, assesses any available test results and performs a clinical examination to identify possible abnormalities.
At the end of the consultation, the hematologist provides a comprehensive clinical assessment, determines whether further diagnostic tests are required and outlines the most appropriate treatment options based on the findings.

Hematology Follow-up
Regular hematology follow-up is important for patients with an already diagnosed blood disorder or those undergoing treatment that requires ongoing monitoring. During the follow-up consultation, the hematologist assesses the patient’s clinical progress over time, reviews the effectiveness of the current treatment and updates the care plan according to the latest findings.
Regular follow-up not only helps monitor the condition, but also allows any changes to be identified promptly, supporting the patient’s safety and quality of life.
