This is the 13th edition of a book written for students and specialists who are interested in developing a fundamental understanding of pathology and treatment of hematologic diseases. The amount of knowledge required by hematologists to identify the best course of treatment for a patient in this field is changing rapidly and has fueled an explosion of new drugs that target pathways virtually unknown a decade ago. We are now also entering an era of effective immunotherapy for a variety of hematologic malignancies, but the long term outcomes and toxicities of these treatment approaches are still unknown. This first edition in English is a significant novelty in the history of this work. Its underlying goals, however, remain the same of the first Italian edition: to help students and specialists understand the basis, treatment and management of hematologic diseases.

A concise full-color review of the mechanisms of blood diseases and disorders – based on a Harvard Medical School hematology course 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This is a superb book. Deceptively small, yet packs a wallop. The emphasis on principles instead of practice is welcome....The text is clear, concise, and surprisingly approachable for what could have been a very dense and dry discussion. I could not put this book down and read it entirely in one sitting. When was the last time anyone found a hematology textbook so riveting?"--Doody's Review Service Hematological Pathophysiology is a well-illustrated, easy-to-absorb introduction to the physiological principles underlying the regulation and function of blood cells and hemostasis, as well as the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible for the development of blood disorders. Featuring a strong emphasis on key principles, the book covers diagnosis and management primarily within a framework of pathogenesis. Authored by world-renowned clinician/educators at Harvard Medical School, Hematological Pathophysiology features content and organization based on a hematology course offered to second year students at that school. The book is logically divided into four sections: Anemias and Disorders of the Red Blood Cell, Disorders of Hemostasis and Thrombosis, Disorders of Leukocytes, and Transfusion Medicine; it opens with an important overview of blood and hematopoietic tissues. Features Succinct, to-the-point coverage that reflects current medical education More than 200 full-color photographs and renderings of disease mechanisms and blood diseases Each chapter includes learning objectives and self-assessment questions Numerous tables and diagrams encapsulate important information Incorporates the feedback of 180 Harvard medical students who reviewed the first draft -- so you know you’re studying the most relevant material possible

This text provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of the most common autoimmune cytopenias affecting adults and children. The book is divided into four sections, each of which focuses on a major autoimmune cytopenia. The first section features background, pathophysiology, presentation, evaluation, and treatment strategies for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), the most common cause of antibody-mediated platelet destruction. The second section reviews common forms and treatment strategies for autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), including a chapter dedicated specifically to Evans Syndrome. The third section comprehensively reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis and current management approaches to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a potentially life-threatening autoimmune syndrome. The book concludes with a final section on autoimmune neutropenia. Each section includes a review of common underlying systemic autoimmune conditions and immune deficiency syndromes that can accompany or cause autoimmune cytopenias. Written by experts in each content area, Immune Hematology: Diagnosis and Management of Autoimmune Cytopenias is a valuable resource for clinicians and professionals who treat patients afflicted with autoimmune cytopenias, including primary care providers, hematologist/oncologists, immunologists, among others.

Once thought rare, hemochromatosis is now acknowledged as one of the commonest inherited disorders, affecting one in two hundred people of western Caucasian descent. It is estimated to affect over one million people in the USA alone. This is the most comprehensive clinical reference yet on hemochromatosis. The international author team includes specialists in internal medicine, hematology, hepatology, genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, and the contents cover all aspects of pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. The latest developments in the genetics of the disorder are well explained, and there are sections on screening, diagnostic techniques, and clinical complications. Social and ethical issues are also considered. Highly illustrated, up-to-date and authoritative, this is the definitive resource for all clinicians involved in the management of hemochromatosis, and will also be invaluable to scientists interested in iron metabolism and iron overload.
