Often referred to as "the bible of hematology," this highly successful, practical manual is the place to turn to for every aspect of laboratory hematology. The book covers all of the techniques used in the investigation of patients with blood disorders, including the latest technologies as well as the tried-and-true manual methods of measurement. It comprehensively discusses which test to use for each situation, the principles of each test, possible causes of error, and the interpretation and clinical significance of the findings. Each chapter conforms to a template, providing quick, easy access to key information. Extensive updates throughout bring you expert guidance on advancing technologies as well as contemporary laboratory organization and management, while retaining the strengths that have made this book an essential reference on laboratory hematology for over 50 years!

Focusing on the laboratory diagnosis of haemoglobin disorders, this resource provides a comprehensive review of essential information and recent advances in the field. The Fourth Edition includes new material on antenatal screening and prenatal diagnostics, along with illustrative examples and self-assessment case studies for trainees. Written by leading haematologists, it emphasizes the selection, performance, and interpretation of diagnostic tests, covering topics like genetics, thalassaemias, and acquired abnormalities, making it an invaluable reference for haematology professionals.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of haematological morphology, focusing on the structure and form of blood cells. It delves into various aspects of blood cell characteristics, providing detailed illustrations and descriptions that enhance understanding. The text aims to equip readers with the knowledge necessary to identify and differentiate between various blood cell types, contributing to improved diagnostic skills in clinical settings. Ideal for students and professionals in the medical field, it emphasizes both theoretical concepts and practical applications.

"The increasing centralisation of specialised tests and the divorce of clinical and laboratory haematology in many countries means that many haematologists now have no direct contact with an immunophenotyping laboratory. Despite this, the results from the laboratory are often crucial in the management of their patients. This book is intended to help haematologists and trainees to understand and interpret immunophenotyping results. It is not directed at those working in an immunophenotyping laboratory and technical details are therefore outlined only briefly. Such laboratories may, however, find it a useful source of information. For further reading on the subject, see the bibliography of each chapter"-- Provided by publisher

This publication provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the significance of cytogenetic and molecular genetic abnormalities in the chronic myeloid leukaemias and other myeloproliferative disorders. This book will therefore be an important reference text, not only for haematologists, but also for molecular geneticists and cytogeneticists, and anyone involved in leukaemia research.

Dieses Buch informiert über die Prinzipien der manuellen und automatischen Blutbildbestimmung, Anfertigung und Färbung hämatologischer Präparate sowie über deren Interpretation. Die deutschsprachige Neuauflage des englischen Klassikers "Blood Cells" enthält Verweise auf moderne komplementäre Untersuchungstechniken, wie Durchflusszytometrie, Zyto-oder Molekulargenetik. 400 Farbabbildungen illustrieren grundlegende methodische Aspekte, häufige Befunde und seltene Konstellationen. Die Autoren legen großen Wert darauf, stets den klinischen Kontext der Laboruntersuchungen hervorzuheben.
