Dacie and Lewis Practical Haematology, 12th Edition, is a reference dedicated to the laboratory techniques used to investigate patients with blood disorders. It explains the principles of each test, potential causes of error, and the interpretation and clinical significance of haematology results.
The volume covers conventional manual measurement methods alongside newer diagnostic technologies. Broad subject areas include blood collection and handling, cell morphology, bone marrow examination, haemostasis testing, transfusion practice, and laboratory quality assurance.
Intended both as a working laboratory resource and as an examination study tool, this 2016 edition also includes a dedicated section on haematology practice in under-resourced laboratories.
