Understanding Anemia

This is an excellent book on Anemia! I have had anemia for a period of time, and reading this book answered all the questions I had, and more. I am currently receiving I.V. iron fusions to bring up my hemoglobin and to help produce more, and healthier, red blood cells. I highly recommend this book written by a real professional in the medical community.

Excellent discussion/description of various types of anemia

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.
