Content
The emphasis in the book is on providing practical guidance for clinicans and technicians working in haemophiliac units.
Chapters 1 and 2 cover the basic physiology of haemostasis, safety procedures within the laboratory and screening tests.
This is followed by chapters covering specific tests over a double page spread, the object being to provide theory of each test on the left-hand page, with methodological details on the right-hand page.
Later chapters cover platelet studies, platelet functions, physiological coagulation in haematology and pathological inhibitors.
There are also chapters devoted to quality control in the haemostasis laboratory, reagent sources, preparation, storage, stability, equipment, maintenance, cleaning and so on.
This book should find a place, not only in specialist haemophilia centres, but also in every haematology laboratory, who on a regular basis are faced with problems of haemophilia diagnosis and treatment.
