This work provides a concise overview of the diseases (adqequate for the general haematologist) and focuses on the selection, performance and interpretation of the results of tests that should be offered by all but the very specialist referral centres.
Most errors in the diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies are due to a failure in collecting correct laboratory data, or because of incorrect interpretation of the test results. Haemoglobinopathies are common, and correct diagnosis is vital for effective patient management. This is a difficult field, and it can take many years to develop diagnostic skills. Those with less experience are often bewildered and don't know where to turn for sound, easily understood advice. This unique book is written by Barbara Bain, a leading haematologist with a reputation for her educational prowess in the field. It provides a concise overview of the diseases and focuses on the selection, performance, and interpretation of the results of tests that should be offered by all but the very specialist referral centres. Where more specialist tests are required, the reader is given an overview of what the specialist centre will do, with guidance on what the result will imply. This book is extremely practical in orientation and it will become an essential reference volume in the general haematology laboratory.
