This note covers the following topics: red blood cells normal morphology, Red blood cells, abnormal RBC
Morphology, Red blood cells abnormal RBC Inclusions, Red blood cells hypochromic,
Microcytic anemias, Red blood cells DNA metabolism abnormalities and bone
marrow failure, Introduction to hemolytic anemias, Hemoglobinopathies, Extrinsic
defects causing hemolytic anemias, Intrinsic defects of the RBC membrane causing
hemolytic anemia, White blood cells and platelets normal morphology, Non
malignant leukocyte disorders, Acute leukemia, Mature lymphoid neoplasms,
Myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndromes.
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.
The
primary objective of this book is to provide the specialists involved in the
clinical management and experimental research in hematological diseases with
comprehensive and concise information on some important theoretical and
practical developments in the biology, clinical assessment, and treatment of
patients, as well as on some molecular and pathogenetic mechanisms and the
respective translation into novel therapies.
