Hemodiagnosis

/ˌhiːmoʊˌdaɪægˈnoʊsɪs/ noun

Definition

The diagnosis of disease through examination and analysis of blood samples and blood characteristics.

Etymology

From Greek 'haima' (blood) + 'dia' (through) + 'gnosis' (knowledge). This term reflects the medical principle that blood can reveal information about diseases throughout the body.

Kelly Says

Your blood is like a newsletter from every cell in your body—a single blood test can detect infections, cancers, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies because sick organs release proteins and cells that leak into your bloodstream where they can be identified.
