About this book

The clinical laboratory is often known as a “black box” to nurses, physicians, and surgeons, but this concise book removes the veil by covering all the pertinent aspects of the clinical laboratory. This book bridges between medicine and chemistry by offering an overview to a clinical laboratory’s structure and function, the importance of laboratory utilization and test ordering, as well as pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical issues of importance to recognize in any clinical laboratory. An interactive FAQ and a detailed index are also available.


Reviews

“This is an overview of clinical laboratory testing. … The intended audience is very broad -- i.e., anyone who experiences clinical laboratory testing, from patients to laboratorians to practitioners. The authors are credible authorities in their areas of expertise.” (Valerie L. Ng, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
