Essential Haematology

by A. Victor Hoffbrand, John D. Pettit, Paul A.H. Moss

This is a major revision of the standard textbook of haematology for medical students. The book outlines the basic principles of clinical and laboratory haematology and shows how manifestations of blood diseases can be explained by new knowledge of the disease process.
Essential Haematology describes how advances in molecular biology, immunology, biochemistry and physiology have increased our understanding of normal blood formation and function, and how they are disturbed in different diseases. The impact of molecular biology is apparent, especially in the inherited diseases of thalassaemia, haemophilia and haemostatic defects, and in the sections dealing with growth factors and leukaemogenesis. The range of treatment available for patients continues to expand and is covered in individual chapters as well as in an expanded section on bone marrow transplantation and the management of bone marrow failure. Colour is used for clarity in line diagrams, and all blood and bone marrow appearances are now illustrated by colour photographs.
The book is suitable not only for medical students preparing for final examinations but also for post-graduates preparing for examinations in general medicine and haematology. It will also be a useful resource for nurses and other professionals involved in the care of patients with blood disease.

A very good book. It just lacks some on pathophysiology. Everything else is very clear and updated.

Actually quite good. It covers all of introduction hematology/oncology physiology and pathophysiology, so quite comprehensive compared to other books I read for med school. I didn't like how there are no practice questions integrated in the text; you have to go to a separate link for them. Oh, well. A useful book.

A brilliant learning aid for my level 5 and 6 haematology modules in my biomedical science degree.

An excellent introduction to haematology for the non-haematologist. Explained clearly and concisely. Would recommend.

One of the most important books in hematology as it contains very important information about blood diseases.

tienes todo muy resumido, muy bien explicado, eres amigable, me fue bien en el exámen, pero en algunas partes estás escrito como si todos fuéramos expertos en hemato, por eso solo 4 de 5
