Recently there has been a rapid expansion of knowledge in both basic biology and the clinical approach to platelet-related diseases including thrombosis and hemorrhage. Novel platelet function tests, drugs, blood bank storage methods, and gene therapies have been incorporated into patient care or are in development. This book draws all this information into a single, comprehensive and authoritative resource.Blood plateletsBlood platelet disordersBlood platelets.Blood platelet disorders.611.0185612.17Michelson Alan D1561134MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784648503321Platelets3827616UNINA
