New and updated features of this title

Significant content updates

• UPDATED: Chapter 12, Anemias of Disordered Regulation of Iron Metabolism and Heme Synthesis, has significant updates related to iron metabolism.
• UPDATED: Chapter 25, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, has been extensively updated.
• UPDATED: Two types of WHO 2017 classifications are now reflected in Appendices B and C. The two classifications are (1) hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue, and (2) hematopoietic, lymphopoietic, and histiocytic/dendritic neoplasms.

Engaging pedagogy

• EXPANDED: Extra multiple-choice questions have been added for each objective level (basic and advanced).
• NEW: Figures and tables that previously appeared in online student resources have now been incorporated into the chapters.
• EXPANDED: New and updated microphotographs appear in the new edition. Microphotographs are displayed liberally throughout and are typical of those found of a particular disease or disorder.
• NEW: An image atlas is new to this edition. It is an interactive library of nearly 1,200 images.

Hallmark features of this title

Solid foundation in clinical laboratory hematology

• Comprehensive information on normal hematopoiesis and cell processes gives students a solid foundation in the pathophysiology of hematologic/hemostatic diseases.
• Algorithms for critical pathways and reflex testing pathways illustrate effective, cost-efficient uses of laboratory tests in diagnosis or treatment planning.

Organizational and learning aids

• Objectives are divided into two levels: Level I (basic) and Level II (advanced). Objectives are associated with chapter modules.
• A running case study is referenced throughout the chapter. It provides clinical and lab information pertinent to the chapter content.
• Case study questions and checkpoints gauge students’ grasp of concepts from a module.
