This textbook helps nurses, physician assistants, medical
students and residents to order appropriate tests and
understand how to interpret them to improve their diagnostic
reasoning. Children are not like adults, and interpreting of the
results of their diagnostic laboratory tests requires knowledge of
the biochemical and metabolic differences. Using a combination of
information, questions and case studies, the book allows readers to
gain an understanding of the key concepts of sensitivity,
specificity, and positive and negative predictive values, as well
as the indications for diagnostic lab tests. This textbook
presents the state of art in testing across body systems and
guidance on how to order and interpret diagnostic laboratory tests
in pediatric patients. Each chapter includes learning
objectives, tables and figures, as well as questions and references
for further learning. This textbook provides an update
for clinicians and is a valuable learning tool for
students and new clinicians. .Â
