Product Description

Now available in a thoroughly revised Twelfth Edition, Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology continues to be an industry leader with its ability to correlate basic science with the clinical practice of hematology. With the first edition of Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology published in 1942 clearly establishing hematology as a distinct subspecialty of Internal Medicine, the latest edition continues the influence of the Wintrobe name and helps to set this book apart from the competition. With its strong focus on the clinical aspects of hematology, the book has generated a strong following among internists and general practitioners who want a single resource to consult for their patients who present any blood related disorder. The Twelfth Edition is in full color for the first time, boasts a new editorial team, and includes expanded coverage of new medications and four new chapters on Newborn Anemias, Pathology of LHC, Spleen Tumors, and Myeloproliferative Disorders and Mast Cell Disease. A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank. "Doody's Core Titles™ 2009."

Editorial Reviews

Review

Journal of the American Medical Association, Volume 9, Issue 293 -- "The updated edition includes many important advances in hematology, with notable emphasis on the recurrent chromosomal translocations defining many hematologic malignancies. Essentially anything relevant to laboratory hematology, normal hematopoiesis and hemostasis and their various components, and disorders of red blood cells is contained in the first volume with all else in the second. As an authoritative hematology resource, the 11th edition of Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology is well suited for hematology subspecialists, with enough introductory material to make it accessible to students and trainees."—JAMA

Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology4
A comprehensive text of practical clinical hematology. Clearly and concisely written for use as a reference or 'at the bench.' One of the most useful materials in the Hematology laboratory.

A good haematology reference5
This book is written primarily for the laboratory, and the haematologist. In that area it is excellent, for clinical treatment, williams or other books are better. But for the laboratoru I would reccomend this book, as I have this and several of the previous editions.

Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology, 2 volume set3
Although this is an excellent textbook for medical students and hematology fellows who need to learn more about certain topics and diseases, it offers limited assistance to the clinician who has to work backwards from lab results and symptoms in search of diseases. It covers the molecular biology of hematology in great detail and also discusses some of the treatment options. It is a great book if you are doing a paper on a hematologic topic. There are also chapters on the new techniques used in labs and the differences in these techniques. On the other hand, if you are looking at abnormal results on a CBC, this book may not offer much help.
