For courses in hematology and coagulation

Comprehensive survey of laboratory hematology, for both MLT and MLS students. Clinical Laboratory Hematology balances theory and practical applications in a way that is engaging and useful to medical laboratory technician and science (MLT/MLS) students, at all levels. Detailed technical information combined with a running, realistic case study provide ample opportunities to analyze and synthesize information, answer questions and solve problems, and consider real-world applications. Content of the 4th edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest advances in laboratory medicine and with updated content on iron metabolism and myelodysplastic syndromes.
