This "transversal" book is a valuable resource not only for hematologists but also for clinicians who may encounter acquired bleeding situations that they must manage, even if they lack access to a bleeding disorder specialist. The discussed conditions are relatively prevalent and can lead to frequent bleeding complications of varying severity, such as bleeding during anticoagulant therapy. The book also covers the significance of disseminated intravascular coagulation, another common complication that varies in severity based on the underlying condition that triggered it.
This book fills a void by addressing these common complications in a single resource that will prove beneficial to medical professionals in training and specialists in various medical fields who treat patients with specific clinical condition.
