Clinical Chemistry, Immunology and Laboratory Quality Control - A Comprehensive Review for Board Preparation, Certification and Clinical Practice

DESCRIZIONE

All Pathology residents must have a good command of clinical chemistry, toxicology, immunology, and laboratory statistics in order to be successful pathologists as well as to pass the American Board of Pathology examination. Clinical chemistry, however, is a topic where many senior medical students and pathology residents face challenges. Clinical Chemistry Primer meets this challenge head on with a clear and easy-to-read presentation of core topics and detailed case studies that illustrate the application of clinical chemistry knowledge to everyday patient care. This basic primer offers practical examples of how things function in the pathology clinic as well as useful lists, sample questions, and a bullet-point format which is ideal for quick pre-board review. While larger textbooks in clinical chemistry provide highly detailed information regarding instrumentation and statistics, this may be too much information for students, residents, and clinicians. This book provides only the most clinically relevant examples designed to educate senior medical students, residents and fellows and "refresh" the knowledge base of practicing clinicians, on how tests are performed in their laboratories (i.e., method principles, interferences, and limitations).
