This single-author text presents the current state of knowledge on the clinical and laboratory features of the hereditary haemostatic component abnormalities predisposing to venous thrombosis, and discusses the methods used to predict its onset in various circumstances. It summarises current knowledge on the haemostatic system with particular emphasis on the factors involved in thrombosis, considering pathogenetic mechanisms in specific sites and in association with various diseases and drugs. Venous thrombosis is a common and important problem, and this book will be welcomed by clinicians as a source of up-to-date information on risk factors, by laboratory haematologists as a guide to the identification of hereditary disorders, and by research workers as a comprehensive overview of the subject.
