Abstract

Blood is a very particular tissue, which has numerous properties. Hematologic diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, including anemias, coagulation disorders, leukemias, lymphomas, and myelomas. Hematology is a vital field that not only focuses on diseases, but has a significant impact on the individual's individual health. The continuous evolution of knowledge and techniques in this discipline promises to improve clinical outcomes and patients' quality of life. General objective: Provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the components, functions and disorders of blood, as well as the diagnostic methods and treatments available. Aim. Describe a complete approach to study and practice. The methodology used for this research work is framed within a documentary-type bibliographic review, since we are going to deal with topics raised at a theoretical level such as Pediatric Hematology and the most frequent disorders. The technique for data collection consists of electronic materials, the latter such as Google Scholar, PubMed, Science direct, among others, descriptors in health sciences were used. Based on the bibliography found Conclusions: The Article offers a comprehensive and updated vision of blood and its diseases. This resource is essential for health professionals and students. Promoting an evidence-based approach.
