Description

A reference text for medical technologists, physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals discusses the most common diseases and their effect on laboratory tests. Emphasis is placed on explanations and descriptions of the causes and basic mechanisms of each disease. The diseases are arranged according to body systems rather than according to laboratory symptoms. The text discusses numerous diseases under 11 broad disease classifications: cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic, genitourinary, endocrinal, neurological, hematological, musculoskeletal and connective tissue diseases, nutritional and metabolic diseases, and infectious disease. The laboratory findings sections in each chapter include the most commonly performed and affected tests.
