This book presents both practical and scientific aspects of hematology. The first section delves into the scientific side, with chapters covering the genesis and stages of blood cells, iron and hemoglobin metabolism, red blood cell morphology, and the definition, types, and diagnosis of anemia. It also discusses abnormal red blood cell conditions like sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and sideroblastic anemia, as well as polycythemia. The book provides a detailed look at white blood cells, including their types, origin, characteristics, morphology, total and differential counts, and associated diseases. Topics also include hemostasis and bleeding disorders.

The second section focuses on the practical applications of hematology. Chapters cover procedures such as drawing blood samples from capillaries and veins, the use of anticoagulants, plasma preparation, blood cell counting, and the preparation of stained blood smears, among other essential techniques.

The book concludes with a third section containing several appendices on various topics, including mucous membrane fluids, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluids, and amniotic fluid.
