Description
This thoroughly updated edition now includes 36 new tests, clinical alerts with an eye-catching logo, and four new appendices. Part I covers abnormal test findings in every major disorder -- more than 500 in all. Part II contains facts on almost every medically endorsed diagnostic procedure and laboratory test. Readers can look up the meaning of test findings for a disorder, then turn the page and get full information on the test itself, including when and how it's used, how it's performed, what pretest and posttest care the patient requires, and what precautions must be taken. Charts and illustrations show equipment, test results, anatomy, and more. Contents include key diagnostic findings of major disorders; diagnostic tests and procedures; hematology and coagulation tests; blood chemistry tests; hormone tests; vitamin and trace element tests; immunologic tests; urine tests; additional specimen tests; cultures; biopsy; endoscopy; ultrasonography; radiography; computed tomagraphy and magnetic resonance imaging; nuclear medicine scans; monitoring and catheterization; special function tests; appendices, including less common diagnostic tests, normal values, abbreviations of test names, and home tests; and index.
