The
book has been divided into three sections. The first section includes chapters
describing the immunological and coagulation-assisting functions of red blood
cells and methods to measure their life span. The second section discusses the
role of platelets in inflammatory processes. The third section reviews
functional dose of RBC transfusions and transfusion practice in various clinical
settings.
This
book aims to provide an overview of current knowledge pertaining to our
understanding of hematology. The main subject areas will include blood cell
morphology and function, the pathophysiology and genetics of hematological
disorders and malignancies, blood testing and typing, and the processes
governing hematopoiesis.
Blood Groups and Red Cell

transfusions and pregnancy. It note covers the following topics: Blood and the
cells, Blood group antigens, Hemolytic disease of the newborn, Blood
transfusions and the immune system, ABO blood group, Hh blood group, Rh blood
group, Kell blood group, Duffy blood group, Kidd blood group, Diego blood group,
