This includes conditions affecting red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, bone marrow, and the lymphatic system. Hematologists are specialists who diagnose and treat a vast array of hematological disorders, ranging from common anemias to complex blood cancers.

- Anemias (iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiency anemia, hemolytic anemia)
- Blood clotting disorders (hemophilia, thrombosis)
- Leukemias (acute and chronic)
- Lymphomas (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's)
