This popular resource allows the reader to appropriately select and accurately interpret laboratory tests in a practical and efficient manner. It presents an organized method of answering common questions that reflect the most frequently encountered problems in laboratory tests. A new chapter on Point-of-Care Methodology has been added, and the section on electrolyte/acid-base now includes strong ion differences. Two additional color plates feature 12 new figures.
- Each chapter contains several tables for easy access to data.
- Listing of Referral Laboratories provides a list of labs that can be contacted for certain diseases.
- Reference Values provide an instant source to identify coagulation, hematology , etc., reference values.
- Laboratory Findings of Selected Diseases give the reader a brief overview of diagnostic features.
- A full-color, 8-page insert of illustrations aids in morphologic diagnosis.
- Expert editors and contributors provide the most accurate, authoritative information.
- Chapter outlines provide the reader with an overview of each chapter.
- Limited chapter references make the book easier to use in the laboratory.
