Clinical Guide to Laboratory Tests is a recognized and useful reference in the clinical laboratory. Pathologists, clinical chemists, and other laboratory personnel rely on it to check reference ranges, drug inferences, and other factors that influence decision-making for performing detailed follow up tests. The fourth edition maintains the same overall organization and content that has been so useful to clinical users in the past three editions. New material has been added in all areas.

What's New

Four new sections in key areas (Preanalytical, Flow Cytometry, Pharmacogenomics, and Allergy) make this edition current and useful.
New editor Alan Wu, who specializes in Clinical Chemistry and Toxicology, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this edition.
The Molecular Diagnostics section has been greatly expanded due to the increased prevalence of new molecular techniques being used in laboratories.
References are now found after each test, rather than at the end of each section, for easier access.
