This book is a good tool to use when learning the lab tests and their values--very helpful to look over the night before a clinical and when filling out paperwork.
 Extremely helpful for med students! February 14, 2007

This book really explains what lab values mean, exactly what causes elevations and depressions, gives a differential diagnosis for each, and lists pathologic, physiologic, and pharmacologic factors that might influence each lab value. It even includes how to perform the tests (eg what kind of blood tube), what to tell the patient before the test, other tests that are associated, and what other tests one might need to order. My only complaint is that it isn't completely exhaustive as far as the tests included. It's definitely geared towards learners, and not really a complete reference for experienced providers. If you are a medical, nursing, PA, or other such student, this book will be tremendously valuable with interpreting lab values.

I'm a nursing student and used this book for my first clinical rotation. It is an excellent resource as it is easy to use and not only defines the tests themselves but also gives clear concise reasons for high or low values. It was a great investment for me as a student.
mostly comprehensive March 12, 2006

Most any type of test or procedure are listed in this book but there were a few tests that I couldn't find. I am not sure if I didn't look in the right area but alphabetical is alphabetical. Overall, very good info on what the test is for and what can influence it, etc. Recommended.
