Book description
A practical guide to laboratory diagnosis and treatment of hemostatic disorders.
This concise book covers all you need to know to manage thrombotic
and bleeding disorders, distilling the most clinically up-to-date
information, and including the latest treatment strategies for key
conditions and diseases. Essential Guide to Blood Coagulation
covers both the stable and the acute stages of hereditary and acquired
bleeding and thrombotic disorders.
Faced with a bleeding patient, it may be difficult to determine
whether blood loss is due to a local factor or an underlying
hemostatic defect. There are a range of laboratory tests which can be
performed to identify the cause of bleeding in a patient. This book
highlights the tests that can be used in the laboratory to aid diagnosis.
Originally published in Swedish, Essential Guide to Blood
Coagulation, has been revised to include the latest treatment
strategies available for patients and will help clinicians to expand
their knowledge of hemostatic disorders.
