Description
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!
