Building a solid foundation in laboratory hematology, for both MLT and MLS students
Clinical Laboratory Hematology is a comprehensive survey of laboratory hematology balancing theory with practical applications. It's perfect for students at all levels of an MLT/MLS program. The text combines detailed technical information with a running case study. This format helps students synthesize and analyze information, answer questions and solve problems, and consider real-world implications.
The 4th Edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest advances in laboratory medicine. It has new engaging features, including a new interactive library of nearly 1,200 images.
Hallmark features of this title
Solid foundation in clinical laboratory hematology
- Comprehensive information on normal hematopoiesis and cell processes gives students a solid foundation in the pathophysiology of hematologic/hemostatic diseases.
- Algorithms for critical pathways and reflex testing pathways illustrate effective, cost-efficient uses of laboratory tests in diagnosis or treatment planning.
Organizational and learning aids
- Objectives are divided into two levels: Level I (basic) and Level II (advanced). Objectives are associated with chapter modules.
- A running case study is referenced throughout the chapter. It provides clinical and lab information pertinent to the chapter content.
- Case study questions and checkpoints gauge students' grasp of concepts from a module.
New and updated features of this title
Significant content updates
- UPDATED: Chapter 12, Anemias of Disordered Regulation of Iron Metabolism and Heme Synthesis, has significant updates related to iron metabolism.
- UPDATED: Chapter 25, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, has been extensively updated.
- UPDATED: Two types of WHO 2017 classifications are now reflected in Appendices B and C. The two classifications are (1) hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue, and (2) hematopoietic, lymphopoietic, and histiocytic/dendritic neoplasms.
Engaging pedagogy
- EXPANDED: Extra multiple-choice questions have been added for each objective level (basic and advanced).
- NEW: Figures and tables that previously appeared in online student resources have now been incorporated into the chapters.
- EXPANDED: New and updated microphotographs appear in the new edition. Microphotographs are displayed liberally throughout and are typical of those found of a particular disease or disorder.
- NEW: An image atlas is new to this edition. It is an interactive library of nearly 1,200 images.
