Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This unique book is written by Barbara Bain, a leading haematologist with a reputation for her educational prowess in the field.


It provides a concise overview of the haemoglobinopathies and focuses on the selection, performance, and interpretation of relevant laboratory tests. The tests dealt with are mainly those done regularly in diagnostic haematology laboratories. Where more specialist tests are required, the reader is given an overview of what the specialist centre will do, with guidance on what the result will imply.


This book is extremely practical in orientation and is an essential reference volume in the haematology laboratory.


Haemoglobinopathy Diagnosis is ideal for:

  • Trainees and residents in haematology

Book Description:
Addressing the cause of most errors in the diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies, Bain (hematology, Imperial College School of Medicine) provides an overview of these conditions with a focus on the selection, performance, and interpretation of the results of tests that should be offered by all but the very specialist referral centers. She also discusses what specialists centers will do if more tests are required, with guidance on what the results will imply. Contains many b&w and color illustrations and charts. Annotation c.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must for anyone who interprets hemoglobins
No question that if you regularly interpret hemoglobin electrophoresis, then you must have this book at your disposal. Dr. Bain is the Kathy Foucar of Britian and has created an excellent resource with lots of useful tables, diagrams and pictures. The latest edition is not much different than the last edition, so if you have the previous edition, no real need for this one. But if you don't have a good resource for hemoglobinopathies and need one, this is definitely the way to go.
