This book builds on the highly successful first edition, providing
a concise description of all common laboratory tests available in
medical practice with notes on their application, the accuracy of
each test, the historical background to the adoption of various
tests and their effectiveness in diagnosis. It will be an essential
primary reference source for everyone working in a clinical
laboratory. The text benefits from the use of clear headings,
tables, flowcharts and pathology slides, the majority of which are
in full colour.
The aim of the Editors has been to provide an accessible
reference book in which easy access of information is of primary
importance. They succeeded in the first edition, as was apparent
from the reviews, and the format has been repeated. All the
chapters have been updated and new material has been introduced to
cover recently developed techniques, such as fluid-based cytology,
telepathology and proteomics.
This book will be essential reading for pathologists, biomedical
scientists, medical laboratory scientific officers and all
clinicians involved in laboratory research.
Reviews of first edition:
"The text is concise, wide-ranging and easy to digest. The ease
of extraction of the important facts make it an ideal source of
information for use in a variety of situations from the
postgraduate examination to the clinical directors' board
meeting."
Dr Andrea Chapman, Dr Bernard Croal, Dr Richard Hobson and Dr
Laura Munro, Bulletin of The Royal College of Pathologists
"The editors have done a marvellous job, more than fulfilling
their stated aim of producing a volume describing the
multidisciplinary state of modern pathology which will be
ofinterest to a wide range of readers. ... I was particularly
impressed by the many tables and flow charts, which can be used as
aids to decision making." DM Barnes, Journal of Clinical
Pathology
"This is an excellent book to dip into and get a feel for
techniques used in the other disciplines of pathology." G
McCreanor, Annals of Clinical Biochemistry
