Understanding Anemia (Understanding Sickness & Health Series)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent discussion/description of various types of anemia
Review: Dr. Uthman presents the physiology of anemia (and its different types) in a straightforward manner. As he mentions in the book, it is written for someone with the equivalent of a high school level of biology. Dr. Uthman takes the reader step-by-step through the process - like a chef teaching someone a recipe. Starting from general discussion on anemia to how it is clinically diagnosed and even how blood tests are performed! Anyone who needs to know about anemia should read this book. The book can also be picked up and used as a reference. The Table of Contents describe quite clearly where to find specific topics.
