Description
Commended, Basic and Clinical Sciences, BMA Awards 2007
The book has been required reading in clinical pathology since 1908. Its comprehensive coverage gives you an in-depth understanding of lab test selection and interpretation of results. A new full-colour layout makes reference much easier. New chapters on laboratory regulations, nutrition, point-of-care testing, bioterrorism, proteomics, microarray
analysis, and the human genome project – as well as a completely new section on cancer testing and meticulous updates from cover to cover – put all the latest, most essential knowledge at your fingertips.

Review quotes
Review quotes
"A wonderful, clear, practical and thorough reference book for a multidisciplinary pathology laboratory. It contains a wealth of practical laboratory experience." BMA Awards 2007
"In my opinion,Clinical Diagnosis continues to be the best reference for clinical pathology. I strongly recommend it to those studying clinical pathology, as well as those interested in various aspects of interpreting laboratory tests as they apply to clinical care. I especially recommend that those owning Clinical Diagnosis older than the 20th edition should purchase this edition, since it is much improved and contains new material. Few textbooks have been published as long as Clinical Diagnosis. This edition ensures that it will continue into a second century of publication." JAMA, April 25, 2007 - Vol 297, No. 16
"This book remains the recognized authoritative book for laboratory medicine. This edition has upheld superbly the longstanding tradition of excellence associated with this book. Just get it." Doody's, March 2007
"Clinical Diagnosis continues to be the best reference for clinical pathology." JAMA, 2008
