A Toxicologist's Guide to Clinical Pathology in Animals: Hematology Glossary [It can be annoying and time-consuming having to search for information in multiple places, which is why this handbook includes a glossary of more than 400 frequently used hematology terms. It includes descriptions of dozens of cell types including normal, abnormal, hematopoietic, and premature blood cells. The shapes and staining characteristics of 60 poikilocytes (RBCs with abnormal morphology) are described.

Abstract

[It can be annoying and time-consuming having to search for information in multiple places, which is why this handbook includes a glossary of more than 400 frequently used hematology terms. It includes descriptions of dozens of cell types including normal, abnormal, hematopoietic, and premature blood cells. The shapes and staining characteristics of 60 poikilocytes (RBCs with abnormal morphology) are described. Because many cells and many terms have more than one name, these are cross-referenced to avoid confusion. Equations for calculating MCH, MCV, and MCHC values are included; and there is a table of coagulation factors and their roles in maintaining hemostasis. There are also descriptions for hematologic diseases such as Von Willebrand disease, thalassemia, hemophilia, and pernicious anemia.]
