This book is mainly about solving clinical problems in the application of medical apheresis. Unlike many other books on apheresis, it is kept short and concise. Many pictures, tables and workflow diagrams help in understanding the solutions presented. The aim is to guide professionals in transfusion medicine, pathology, haematology - oncology, neurology, rheumatology, nephrology and transplant medicine through the process of treatment and decision-making in the clinic and in their own practice. The book provides practical knowledge that can be immediately applied in patient care to optimise the apheresis treamtent. .
