Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Clinical Hematology Textbook: Principles, Diagnosis, Disease Mechanisms, and Modern Patient CareUnderstanding hematology requires more than memorizing blood counts, disease names, and laboratory values. It requires the ability to connect normal blood physiology, disease mechanisms, diagnostic findings, clinical manifestations, treatment principles, and patient care into one clear framework.Clinical Hematology Textbook is a comprehensive professional medical education resource designed to help readers understand the science and clinical practice of hematology from the foundations of blood formation to advanced diagnostic and therapeutic care.The book integrates foundational biology with clinical reasoning, emphasizing how abnormalities in blood formation, cellular structure, immune regulation, coagulation, and hematopoietic function produce recognizable disease patterns and influence patient outcomes.Rather than presenting hematology as a collection of disconnected disorders, this textbook teaches readers to ask the clinically important questions: What hematologic process is abnormal?Why has the abnormality developed?Is the problem related to production, destruction, loss, consumption, sequestration, or malignant transformation?The 25-chapter structure moves systematically from foundational principles through red-cell disease, white-cell disorders, coagulation and malignancy, and finally into transplantation, transfusion medicine, emergencies, and advanced hematology. Learn to Interpret - Not Just MemorizeA defining strength of this textbook is its emphasis on mechanism-based clinical reasoning.Readers learn that: Anemia may result from impaired production, ineffective erythropoiesis, blood loss, nutritional deficiency, hemolysis, renal disease, inflammation, or marrow infiltration.Thrombocytopenia may result from reduced production, destruction, consumption, sequestration, or dilution.Leukocytosis may represent infection, physiological stress, inflammation, medication effects, or clonal hematologic disease.An abnormal blood count is often the beginning of the diagnostic process rather than the diagnosis itself.Strong Laboratory and Diagnostic FocusClinical hematology depends heavily on accurate interpretation of investigations.This textbook develops that skill through detailed discussion of: Complete blood counts . Red-cell indices. Leukocyte differentials. Platelet measurements. Reticulocyte. responses. Peripheral blood films. Bone marrow examination .Flow cytometry. Coagulation studies. Immunophenotyping. Cytogenetics. Molecular diagnosticsThe diagnostic philosophy remains practical: increasingly sophisticated tests should answer meaningful clinical questions rather than replace careful history, examination, morphology, and basic laboratory interpretation.Why This Textbook Stands OutClinical Hematology Textbook brings together: Blood science. Laboratory interpretation. Disease mechanisms. Clinical reasoning. Diagnosis. Treatment principles. Patient safety. Modern hematology.It is designed to help readers move beyond memorization and develop the ability to recognize patterns, interpret investigations, understand mechanisms, identify dangerous abnormalities, and connect scientific knowledge with real patient care.For students seeking a stronger foundation, clinicians refreshing their hematology knowledge, and healthcare professionals looking for a comprehensive educational reference, this textbook provides a structured pathway from the fundamentals of blood physiology to the complexities of modern hematologic med Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Acute kidney injury is one of the most serious and complex complications encountered in critical care. It can develop rapidly during sepsis, shock, major surgery, trauma, cardiac dysfunction, toxic exposure, obstruction, or multiorgan failure-and its consequences extend far beyond the kidneys.Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Care provides a comprehensive, clinically focused guide to understanding, recognizing, and managing this dynamic syndrome. Moving beyond the idea that AKI is simply a rise in serum creatinine or a reduction in urine output, this textbook explains how renal dysfunction interacts with hemodynamics, inflammation, fluid balance, medication exposure, respiratory support, and failure of other organs.Beginning with applied renal anatomy and physiology, the book develops a strong foundation for understanding glomerular filtration, tubular function, renal perfusion, autoregulation, electrolyte control, and acid-base balance. It then connects these principles to the mechanisms, clinical presentations, diagnostic findings, and treatment priorities encountered in critically ill patients.Readers will learn how to: Recognize AKI early and interpret changes in serum creatinine and urine outputApply contemporary diagnostic criteria and severity stagingDifferentiate hemodynamic, septic, nephrotoxic, intrinsic renal, and obstructive causesAssess renal perfusion, fluid responsiveness, and systemic venous congestionInterpret laboratory findings, urine sediment, imaging, biomarkers, and point-of-care ultrasoundManage fluid accumulation, electrolyte disturbances, metabolic acidosis, nutrition, and medication safetyUnderstand indications for kidney replacement therapy and select an appropriate modalityApply the principles of intermittent hemodialysis, prolonged intermittent therapy, and continuous kidney replacement therapyMonitor vascular access, anticoagulation, circuit performance, treatment delivery, and patient safetyRecognize renal recovery, assess readiness for discontinuing kidney replacement therapy, and plan post-AKI follow-upAddress AKI in older adults, pregnancy, chronic kidney disease, transplantation, oncology, liver failure, neurocritical care, and extracorporeal supportRealistic, clearly labelled medical illustrations translate difficult physiological and technical concepts into understandable visual explanations. Concise clinical tables support rapid comparison and revision, while Part-based exercises, case-oriented questions, and answer rationales reinforce clinical reasoning and practical application.Written for medical and nursing students, physicians, critical-care practitioners, advanced practice providers, nephrology learners, pharmacists, dialysis professionals, and allied health practitioners, this book combines scientific depth with bedside relevance.Whether used as a structured textbook, professional training resource, examination aid, or clinical reference, Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Care equips readers to approach kidney dysfunction as a changing, multisystem problem requiring accurate assessment, mechanism-based reasoning, coordinated care, and continuous reassessment.
