Anyone with a specific question about any area of apheresis should be able to find the answer with this book, either in the references cited or, in most cases, in the text itself.
An eclectic group of contributors have come together to produce Apheresis: Principles and Practices, 2nd edition including engineers and inventors involved in the development of instruments, physicians with expertise in apheresis and the treatment of diseases for which apheresis products or procedures are important therapeutically, nurses and technologists who care for donors and patients during apheresis procedures, and individuals with knowledge of regulatory and managerial issues.
This book is intended for health-care professionals working in any branch of apheresis donation or therapy and should be useful for individuals at all levels in the blood banking and transfusion medicine communities, as well as physicians and other medical professionals who care for patients needing apheresis products or procedures.
