The 3^rd edition of the WFH laboratory Manual is the definitive how-to guide for the accurate diagnosis of hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. The Manual contains updates on previous topics on coagulation, and includes new sections on inhibitors, vWD and rare blood disorders, and molecular genetic analysis.

The 3^rd edition is available in: Spanish

The 2^nd edition is available in: French, Arabic, Russian, Simplified Chinese.

Lab Manual Videos

NOW AVAILABLE: Step-by-step video demonstrations of the three most important manual diagnostic techniques:

• APTT (Part 6)
