ICMR-NIIH Practical Guide to Laboratory Immunohematology is intended for a wide range of academicians who work in the area of life sciences, i.e. scientists, laboratory personnel, undergraduates, graduates, postgraduates, clinicians, and professors alike, as a reference manual. The book deals with both laboratory and genetic diagnostic protocols on a wide range of subjects in the area of immunohematology ranging from hemoglobinopathies, hemostasis and thrombosis, cytogenetics, transfusion medicine and transfusion transmitted disorders, autoimmune disorders, and primary immunodeficiencies.

The unique feature of the book is its potential utility for both laboratory and genetic diagnosis along with theoretical information in each of these areas which is mainly directed to students to get basic information about the topics.The authors also have added the protocols of several in-house, costeffective techniques as also the modifications of basic techniques established in the laboratory over the last several years which are published in various national and international journals. In short, the book provides extremely useful information on a unique combination of disorders in the area of Immunohematology.
