Description

This comprehensive text examines normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid and megakaryocytic origins. Hemostasis and coagulation theory, testing, and instrumentation are also thoroughly discussed. Beautiful full-color illustrations throughout the text enhance comprehension and allow students to realistically visualize hematology concepts.

Key features

  • Detailed, full-color illustrations appear near hematology concept discussions to visually support comprehension and recognition.
  • Opening Case Studies present real-life scenarios to apply concepts presented in each chapter.
  • Learning Objectives and Review Questions work together to list expected outcomes and then test those concepts for each chapter.
  • A Bulleted Summary highlights the key concepts at the end of each chapter.
  • Hematology/Hemostasis Reference Ranges inside the front and back covers provide quick reference.
