Description

**Selected for 2025 Doody’s Core Titles® in Laboratory Medicine**

Make sure you are thoroughly prepared to work in a clinical laboratory. Rodak’s Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, 7th Edition uses hundreds of full-color photomicrographs to help you understand the essentials of hematology and hemostasis. This new edition details the parts and functions of the cell; shows how to accurately identify cells; covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins; and simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts and disorders. Easy to follow and understand, this book also covers key topics, including working in the hematology and hemostasis laboratory; complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics; and laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells.

Key features

  • Content throughout the text reflects the latest information on hematology and hemostasis
  • Hematology and hemostasis instruments are described, compared, and contrasted
  • More than 700 full-color illustrations and photomicrographs make it easier to visualize hematology concepts and show what you’ll encounter in the laboratory
  • Instructions for laboratory procedures include detailed figures and sources of errors
  • Case studies in each chapter provide opportunities to apply hematology concepts to real-life scenarios
  • Hematology and hemostasis reference intervals are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick reference
  • Bulleted chapter summaries make it easy for you to review important points
  • Learning objectives begin each chapter and indicate what you should achieve, with review questions appearing at the end
  • Appendices provide easy access to a list of key formulas, abbreviations, and a detailed glossary to complement learning
