Hematology

The facilities and expertise of the Hematology Section allow for a comprehensive approach to the interpretation and diagnosis of blood, bone marrow, and lymph node specimens.

Morphologic findings are integrated with the results of special procedures, such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular studies, and cytogenetic analysis, to arrive at a final interpretation.

Cleveland Clinic Laboratories’ services are designed to be flexible based on the needs of each client and each case, from performing a single test to providing full-service consultation.
