Laboratories are increasingly more involved in the follow-up confirmatory laboratory testing and this unique volume showcases the collaboration needed to solve diagnostic clinical puzzles between the laboratory and clinician. This volume provides guidance on laboratory test selection and results interpretation in patients. Sources of inaccurate results in the measurement of kidney biomarkers are discussed along with possibility of eliminating such interferences. Each chapter is organized with a uniform easy-to-follow format with insightful case examples highlighting the collaboration between clinical laboratorians and clinicians.
- Categorizes biomarkers into diagnostic markers, disease follow-up markers, and prognostic biomarkers
- Include case examples to show the collaboration between the clinical laboratorian and clinician
- Discusses the application of kidney biomarkers in clinical practice along with addressing laboratory aspects of kidney biomarker determination
