ABC of Clinical Haematology
An essential guide and introduction to the diagnosis, treatment and management of disorders across the breadth of clinical haematology
Extensively revised, this 5th edition of ABC of Clinical Haematology covers all aspects of contemporary haematology, providing the basic science behind the disease and diagnostic aspects, along with up to date management. The text assumes little prior haematology knowledge, enabling clear understanding by non-experts, including medical students and nurses. Full colour illustrations and text boxes highlighting important learning points together enable more efficient reader comprehension.
ABC of Clinical Haematology covers:
* Iron deficiency anaemia, macrocytic anaemia, hereditary anaemias, polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocythaemia, and myelofibrosis
* Chronic myeloid leukaemia, acute leukaemias, lymphoma, stem cell transplantation, cellular therapies, adult myelodysplastic syndrome, and myeloma
* Bleeding disorders, thrombosis, anticoagulation, and paediatric haematology, platelet disorders
* Amyloidosis, with focus on systemic light chain amyloidosis, and haematological emergencies
* New tests, treatments, and management solutions that are now available for certain conditions, especially common blood related disorders
With contributions from leading experts in their respective fields, ABC of Clinical Haematology, Fifth Edition provides an ideal reference for primary care practitioners and other healthcare professionals working with patients who have blood related problems.
