Product Description
The 3rd edition of this widely used resource offers superb guidance on diagnostic and laboratory testing for health professionals in both academic and clinical settings. The chapters are organized by test type and each chapter begins with a list of the tests covered within the test type, as well as an overview of that category including specimen collection techniques. The tests are presented in a consistent format that includes normal findings, indications, contraindications, potential complications, interfering factors, procedure and patient care, test results and clinical significance, and related tests. This full-color book is easy to use and covers virtually every clinically significant test, including more than 50 new to this edition. * A full color interior design and over 140 vivid color photographs and illustrations depict procedures, equipment, techniques, and concepts, making the content more visually appealing to the reader and the concepts easier to understand. * Comprehensive coverage of all diagnostic and laboratory tests routinely performed today. Over 700 individual tests are covered in approximately 360 entries. * Clinical Significances of test results, indicated in italic type, explain the pathophysiology of disease processes and how they relate to test results. * Color-coded chapter thumb-tabs, alphabetically organized chapters, and two lists of all tests (Appendix A, Alphabetical List of Tests and Appendix B, List of Tests by Body System) make every test easy to find. * Critical Values are highlighted with color to alert the reader to situations requiring immediate intervention.

Excellent referance for interpreting medical test results for someone with or without a medical background. Provides a brief explanation of each test and lists likely cause('s) of abnormal results. Also lists related tests that may in combination provide a more detailed picture.
Great Book September 6, 2009

This is a great easy reference to diagnostic values & interpretations. The only flaw is that it is sometimes not completely comprehensive. I bought it for med school, and although I find it really helpful, one of my professors isn't quite fond of it. And, keep in mind, reference ranges are different for nearly all hospitals, so the ones in the book may not be the ones you should use.

The book came quickly and as-advertised. Not in great shape, but it was only listed as "fair." Overall, a good transaction.
Makes analysing labs easy June 27, 2009

I like the layout of this book. It breaks down the purpose of each lab and the reasons it would be high or low. Very useful in determining why your labs are the way they are. Highly recommend.
