First published in 1990, this two-volume text demonstrates the progress towards a better and more rational use of blood products. The major topics of transfusion therapy are covered from both a laboratory and a clinical perspective. Discipline lines are crossed, involving such topics as biochemistry, hematology and infectious disease. This reference serves as an important resource for clinicians involved in transfusion, blood bank personnel, and scientists working with the development of improved blood components.
