Hematological Emergencies: Pathophysiology and Clinical Management
Internal Medicine · Clinical Specialties
How it begins
Las urgencias hematológicas constituyen un conjunto de entidades patológicas heterogéneas que comprometen de forma inmediata la supervivencia del paciente. Se caracterizan por su instauración aguda, su altísima morbimortalidad si no se diagnostican precozmente, y su dependencia crítica de un conocimiento fisiopatológico profundo para la instauración de una terapéutica dirigida. A diferencia de otras especialidades,…
