Combines a text, a laboratory procedures manual, and an atlas of cell morphology, all in full color. Students need to master the basic principles of hematology and the fundamentals of hemostasis are here. This book begins with an introduction to clinical hematology and the anemias, and then progress through white blood cell disorders, and hemostasis to thrombosis, and laboratory methods. Includes a new chapter on the examination of body fluids, and complete coverage of red blood cells, white blood cells, hemostasis, and thrombosis. Also, there are chapters on flow cytometry and molecular diagnosis, and a thorough discussion of anemias. Case histories demonstrate the link between the test and the patient to foster critical thinking. Laboratory methods section includes chapters on routine hematology methods, automated differential analysis, cytochemistry, and more. More than 900 illustrations, including 309 full-color microphotographs
