The history of blood transfusion is a fantastic human adventure during which medical and scientific achievements have been combined, both deliberately and accidentally, to give rise to a new medical discipline.
The most original aspect of this series of events in which applied research dominated is the extraordinary therapeutic potential of blood and medullar cells. Numerous pathologies, many of which lie outside the field of haematology, may be affected.
The continuing development of this therapeutic potential is a challenge for the next decade. However complex the techniques used, the donor has always been the main protagonist. Ethical considerations must be a part of this medical and scientific progress.
After an authoratitive and detailed account of discoveries in the field of transfusion and their application over the past three decades, the book covers all the subjects which look ahead to the future of transfusion.
