The second edition of Textbook of haematology discusses normal and abnormal haematopoiesis and haemostasis, including anemias and nonmalignant leucocyte disorders. The text emphasizes the relationship between haematologic disease and diagnostic laboratory testing. The text is designed for easy accessibility, and features chapters on body fluid analysis, chromosome analysis of haematopoietic disorders, lab methods in haematology, lab methods in coagulation, and automation in haematology. Readers will also find current information on malignant proliferative disorders and primary haemostasis. Each chapter contains a discussion on the pathophysiologic aspects of the haematologic disease, a brief description of clinical findings and symptoms, and a discussion of laboratory findings associated with the disorder. Case studies provide practical application of information,
