A revised, abridged version of the seminal work, Laboratory
Medicine in Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Clinical Laboratory
Medicine for Mental Health Professionals more directly address the
needs of general psychiatrists and their mental health colleagues
in clinical practice. Sections on laboratory tests, diseases and
conditions, and psychotropic medications include alphabetically
arranged entries, making it easy for busy clinicians to reference
the updated information. For each laboratory test, the following
information is provided: * The type of test (e.g., blood, urine,
etc.)* An explanation of the test* The test's relevance to
psychiatry* Patient preparation* Medical and psychiatric
indications for the test* Numerical reference ranges* Critical
values for test results* The potential meaning of abnormal results
(e.g., factors that lead to increased or decreased levels)*
Interfering factors* Cross-references to other tests or conditions
Information on clinical diagnosis and laboratory testing is
provided for diseases and conditions, and psychotropic medications
are examined from both a screening and a monitoring standpoint.
Extensively indexed, this guide also includes an appendix that
features at-a-glance information on therapeutic and psychotropic
levels, 10 rules for deciding whether an ECG is normal, and several
figures covering topics relevant to tests, such as ECG waves and
intervals, cholestatic injury, bilirubin cycle, and SIADH
secretion. Years of clinical practice and research inform both the
choice of tests included and the rationale for their use, making
Clinical Laboratory Medicine for Mental Health Professionals the
definitive, authoritative reference for psychiatrists and other
behavioral health clinicians.
