biomarkers soluble ST2, galexin-3, CD 146; hepatitis testing (A, B,
C, D, E); use of high-resolution serum protein electrophoresis;
procalcitonin; tumor markers such as neuron-specific enolase and
KRAS mutation; estimated glycated hemoglobin and glucose "time in
range" for monitoring glucose control; identification of specific
islet-cell antibodies in type 1 diabetes mellitus; discussion of
all types of diabetes mellitus; and more drugs for therapeutic
monitoring (lithium, methotrexate). Current reference intervals and
nomenclature have been used throughout, and additional summary
tables have been added where appropriate. New clinical cases are
