"Learn state-of-the-art hematology and hemostasis concepts and lab testing with this comprehensive text! Featuring hundreds of photomicrographs, Rodak's Hematology clearly demonstrates key features for accurate identification of normal and pathological cells in blood, bone marrow, and body fluids. Basic-to-advanced concepts are clearly presented to provide a solid understanding of normal versus pathologic hematopoiesis and hemostasis. Other features include correlation and interpretation of laboratory tests used for diagnosis and monitoring of anemias, malignant and non-malignant leukocyte disorders, and hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions. The focus, level, and detail of pathophysiology related to performance, clinical applications, and correlations of hematology/hemostasis testing combine to provide a valuable resource for all healthcare professionals managing these disorders. Outstanding Features: -Nearly 700 full-color illustrations make it easier to visualize hematology and hemostasis concepts and show what you'll encounter in the laboratory. -Instructions for laboratory procedures include helpful illustrations, clinical applications, and sources of error. -Hematology, hemostasis, and coagulation instruments are described and principles of operation are compared. -Updated chapters on molecular diagnostics, iron metabolism, quality assurance, and antithrombotic drug monitoring cover the newest technologies and techniques used in the lab. -Case studies provide opportunities to apply laboratory and physiological principles to real-life clinical scenarios. -Hematology/hemostasis reference intervals are listed on the inside front and back covers for quick lookup. -Resources for instructors on the Evolve companion website include an image collection, updated PowerPoint® slides, and downloadable learning objectives with taxonomy levels. -- Back Cover
