• A Bulleted Summary highlights the key concepts at the end of each chapter.
• Hematology/Hemostasis Reference Ranges inside the front and back covers provide quick reference.

• Three new chapters detail significant information: An Overview of Clinical Laboratory Hematology, Hematology in Selected Populations, and Monitoring Anticoagulant Therapy.
• All chapters have been revised to feature the most current technology and research updates.
• The included Glossary of Terms and consistent pedagogy ensure a cohesive, effective tool for learning.
• Two well-respected editors contributed more significantly to this third edition: George Fritsma shared his expertise for the Hemostasis section and Kathy Doig managed the pedagogical features.
