Second Edition
edited by Nigel Key
Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis provides all the information necessary to understand the clotting mechanisms, as well as how to prevent, diagnose, and treat bleeding and clotting disorders.
Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis includes an in-depth description of platelet abnormalities and disseminated intravascular coagulation, as well as covering the laboratory and molecular biological tests needed for the diagnosis of bleeding and clotting disorders.
Clinicians will find useful advice for everyday questions in each specialty area as the book describes hemorrhagic and thrombotic problems in:
- cardiology
- neurology
- hepatology
- nephrology
- oncology
- obstetrics
- pediatrics
- intensive care
- transfusion medicine
An invaluable resource for all hematologists, trainee hematologists preparing for examinations and clinicians, Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis should be kept close at hand for frequent consultation.
