Haematology

Hatton, Hughes-Jones, Hay, and Keeling, hematologists in the UK, introduce hematology to medical students and junior doctors and describe the basic clinical and laboratory aspects of hematological diseases and blood transfusion. They include the physiology, pathology, features, treatment, and other aspects of the most common blood disorders, from anemia to lymphomas. This edition has been revised and updated to integrate recent advances in the understanding of the molecular biology and pathogenesis of hematological disorders, and has new material on coagulation and transfusion, more on hematopoiesis, updates to malignant hematology content, and a new companion website with interactive multiple-choice questions, chapter summaries, revision notes, and all figures in PowerPoint format.
