Disorders of Hemoglobin stands tall as the definitive work on the genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical management of hemoglobinopathies and thalassemia. Drs. Steinberg, Forget, Higgs, and Nagel have gathered the world authorities on the science and clinical management of these disorders and created the authoritative textbook for researchers and clinicians alike.Authors describe the scientific basis of clinical features and provide clinicians with a clear background of disorders they treat and scientists with an essential link between their research and its clinical manifestation. Disorders of Hemoglobin is the only single-source reference on hemoglobinopathies for hematologists, pediatricians, clinical investigators, and geneticists worldwide.

New sections reflect advances in the specialty, e.g. knowledge gained from new generation sequencing, latest anticoagulant drugs, diagnostic laboratory tools, and treatment strategies Superb four-color illustrations and photomicrographs of blood cells and tissues throughout Includes algorithms to aid with decision-making for treatment Companion website featuring figures and tables from the book Arm yourself with the textbook of choice for trainees and practitioners in haematology.

Postgraduate Haematology

David J. Weatherall

This book is a completely revised new edition of the definitive reference on disorders of hemoglobin. Authored by world-renowned experts, the book focuses on basic science aspects and clinical features of hemoglobinopathies, covering diagnosis, treatment, and future applications of current research. While the second edition continues to address the important molecular, cellular, and genetic components, coverage of clinical issues has been significantly expanded, and there is more practical emphasis on diagnosis and management throughout. The book opens with a review of the scientific underpinnings. Pathophysiology of common hemoglobin disorders is discussed next in an entirely new section devoted to vascular biology, the erythrocyte membrane, nitric oxide biology, and hemolysis. Four sections deal with α and β thalassemia, sickle cell disease, and related conditions, followed by special topics. The second edition concludes with current and developing approaches to treatment, incorporating new agents for iron chelation, methods to induce fetal hemoglobin production, novel treatment approaches, stem cell transplantation, and progress in gene therapy.
