<p><br /> </p> <p><b>Essential practical management for all those working in the field of hemostasis and thrombosis.</b><br /> </p> <p>Edited by Denise O'Shaughnessy, Michael Makris and David Lillicrap <i>Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis</i> provides a comprehensive yet concise and practical guide to the full range of clotting and bleeding disorders encountered in clinical practice. Presented in three sections (i) the laboratory interface, (ii) the practice of clinical hemostasis and (iii) the interface with other clinical specialties, this book informs and advises clinicians in all stages of diagnosis, management and prevention of thrombotic and hemostatic disorders.<br /> </p> <p><i>Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis</i> will be useful for all hematologists, trainee hematologists preparing for examinations and clinicians as a reference source when faced with specific problems.</p>
