Hematopathology

Hematopathology or hemopathology concerns with the study of diseases and disorders that are affecting the blood cells, and their synthesis and some other tissues involved in haematopoiesis like spleen, bone marrow and the thymus. This include cell kinetics which detects the characteristic neoplastic haematolymphoid cells, metabolic hematology used to find the abnormalities in haemoglobin, cytoskeletal abnormalities and red blood cell enzyme deficiency and used to screen the characteristic thalassemia’s and also molecular hematopathology this analyses RNA or DNA in monitoring hematologic malignance’s and to quantify the genetic abnormalities.

Morphology of hematopathology performs the blood count and identifies cellular morphology in some body fluids and peripheral blood. Treating of diseases like lymphomas and leukaemia come under hematopathology. Physicians who trained to diagnose the diseases of blood are hematopathologists.
