Description

This work is an attempt to provide a text clarifying the link between medical and laboratory science in the investigations into haematology. It provides precise accounts of how to carry out and interpret all haematological techniques. Each of the four sections of the book - red cells, white cells, haemostasis and immunohaematology - contains detailed accounts of methods in haematology and related disorders by contributors world-wide, and has been edited jointly by a doctor and senior technologist.
