A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells is a straightforward text for those starting to examine blood films for the first time. No prior knowledge is assumed as the descriptions of haematological conditions start with normal cells and explanations of the terms commonly used to describe them. This leads on to abnormal findings.
A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells: outlines the basics of diagnostic haematology; stresses the skills required to diagnose diseases of the blood by morphological analysis; describes how to analyse a blood film, how to recognize any abnormality present and how to interpret abnormalities; explains the clinical relevance of haematology tests in patient care; gives a simple explanation of the full blood count and a table of normal ranges; and tests understanding with a self-assessment section.
A Beginner's Guide to Blood Cells is ideal for a diverse group of practitioners who need a concise overview of diagnostic haematology.
