    • French
    Les examens de laboratoire, parfois qualifiés d’examens «complémentaires» alors qu’ils sont indispensables, recherchent bactéries et virus, reconnaissent les cellules anormales, détectent les anticorps, évaluent le fonctionnement des organes, scrutent le milieu intérieur, examinent les gènes.Comment s’en passer ?Ce livre, élaboré par un clinicien, offre aux professionnels de santé un instrument de pratique quotidienne. Ouvrage de référence, il expose tout ce qu’il faut savoir pour prescrire des analyses médicales et interpréter les résultats.Les examens de laboratoire sont présentés sous forme de fiches, classées par ordre alphabétique, qui suivent un plan récurrent : mode et précautions de prélèvement, valeurs normales et cliniques (valeurs pathologiques), objectifs de l’examen et interprétation.Cet ouvrage décrit le raisonnement qui permet de déduire d’un résultat biologique les meilleures conclusions diagnostiques ou thérapeutiques possibles, en interprétant les résultats à la lumière de la clinique, de la littérature scientifique et des données de santé publique.Cette 13e édition est entièrement actualisée, notamment en fonction des publications récentes, des recommandations des sociétés savantes (VIH, allergies, auto-immunité...) et en accord avec la nomenclature de la Sécurité sociale.De nouveaux examens liés à l’actualité médicale (caryotype onco-hématologique, hématocrite, hépatite E…) sont ajoutés.L’ouvrage s’accorde volontairement à la pratique des généralistes, spécialistes et biologistes. Les examens plus rares (biologie moléculaire…) sont traités en accord avec la demande.
