Williams Hematology The Red Cell And Its Diseases

Everything you need to know about red cell disorders, from basic science to clinical application. When red blood cells do not have enough hemoglobin, oxygen cannot reach all parts of the body—as a result, organs start to malfunction and may lead to a host of issues including deformities, enlarged spleen, heart problems and other diseases. There are myriad red cell disorders, such as iron deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia, aplastic anemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, sickle cell, thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies. The Red Cells and its Diseases provides clinicians with a practical diagnostic and treatment framework for identifying and successfully managing acute, congenital, and chronic red blood cell disorders. Presented in an accessible template format, the book includes classifications, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, differential diagnosis, treatment, management, and supportive care. This comprehensive, yet concise resource covers: Structure and physiology of the red cell Classification of red cell diseases Diseases of red cell production Anemias resulting principally from inherited disorders Anemia as a result of exogenous factors Polyclonal erythrocytosis Red cell transfusion

This edition features comprehensive coverage of the basic sciences, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches and treatment of diseases of blood cells, coagulation, proteins and thrombosis. All chapters are written by leaders in the field, and are edited to ensure a consistent and complementary treatment of subjects throughout. It includes over 50% new material, and the latest information on sickle cell diseases, AIDS, Von Willebrand disease, chronic myelogenous leukemia and more. The emphasis is on what the clinican needs to know for effective patient management.

I've run out of superlatives. Get it."--Doody's Review Service Edition after edition, Williams Hematology has guided generations of clinicians, biomedical researchers, and trainees in many disciplines through the origins, pathophysiological mechanisms, and management of benign and malignant disorders of blood cells and coagulation proteins. The book begins with the evaluation of the patient and progresses to the molecular and cellular underpinnings of normal and pathological hematology. Subsequent sections present disorders of the erythrocyte, granulocytes and monocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells, malignant myeloid and lymphoid diseases, hemostasis and thrombosis, and transfusion medicine. Featuring a brand-new full-color presentation, the Eighth Edition of Williams Hematology is extensively revised to reflect the latest views of experts in the field. Two new chapters examine the importance of genomics in hematology and cell therapy for tissue replacement, whereas other chapters have been revised to incorporate the newest clinical approaches to the leukemias and lymphomas, and the application of targeted therapy in the treatment of hematologic disorders. New to this Edition: Full-color presentation conveniently integrates images of blood and tissue findings where they are cited in the text Two additional chapters, “Genomics and Epigenetics,” and “Regenerative Medicine: Principles of Multipotential Cell Therapy for Tissue Replacement,” offer insights into the application of genomic and monoclonal therapies to hematology and emphasize their role in improving diagnostic and therapeutic methods Expanded coverage of non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes separate chapters on its constituent diseases, providing an in-depth assessment of the diagnosis and management of these disorders A comprehensive discussion of erythrocytosis and thrombocytosis reviews reactive and malignant forms of myeloproliferation, encompassing new genetic advances in these disorders along with more targeted therapeutic approaches Companion CD includes a large selection of morphologies, illustrations, and drawings from the book, in a presentation-ready PowerPoint format
