Hematological Emergencies: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management

Internal Medicine · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Hematological emergencies constitute a set of heterogeneous pathological entities that immediately compromise patient survival. They are characterized by their acute onset, their very high morbidity and mortality if they are not diagnosed early, and their critical dependence on in-depth pathophysiological knowledge for the establishment of targeted therapy. Unlike other specialties,…
