Description
xA comprehensive guide to blood cell morphology and interpretation, fully updated throughout
Understanding blood cell morphology and interpreting blood counts accurately is essential for both haematologists and biomedical scientists. Blood Cells: A Practical Guide, Seventh Edition is a meticulously updated and comprehensive resource, combining expert guidance with high-quality imaging. This edition introduces new clinical images to enhance the contextual understanding of haematological findings, alongside the latest WHO and International Consensus classifications of haematological neoplasms.
Blood Cells: A Practical Guide bridges the gap between laboratory science and clinical application, covering essential techniques such as specimen collection, blood film preparation and staining. The authors also discuss the principles of manual and automated blood counts, as well as abnormalities in blood counts and films within a clinical context. With up-to-date advice on additional tests to aid diagnosis, this new edition reinforces the importance of microscopy whilst addressing the evolving demands of laboratory and clinical haematology.
Designed as both a reference for practising haematologists and a bench manual for trainees, Blood Cells: A Practical Guide:
- Features new high-quality clinical and morphological images to enhance blood cell identification and interpretation
- Highlights potential pitfalls and spurious results in haematological analysis to improve diagnostic accuracy
- Offers a self-assessment component with multiple choice questions (MCQs) and extended matching questions (EMQs) available online
- Is written by leading experts with decades of experience in diagnostic haematology and blood cell morphology
Blood Cells: A Practical Guide, Seventh Edition, remains an indispensable resource for those dedicated to the study and practice of haematology, such as haematologists, clinical scientists, and biomedical scientists at all levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for diagnostic haematology courses and laboratory training programmes in medical and biomedical science degrees.
