Thematik

The course focuses on the pathophysiology of erythropoiesis and on the structural and functional abnormalities of blood cells at a preclinical level. In addition to those of red blood cells, functions and disorders of leukocytes and platelets are discussed. Related functional and clinical conditions together with the pathophysiological basis of possible therapies will also be included. Theory is complemented by case histories.
