Tietz’s Applied Laboratory Medicine 

Using a problem-based approach, Tietz’s Applied Laboratory
Medicine, Second Edition presents interesting cases to
illustrate the current use and interpretation of the most commonly
available clinical laboratory tests. The cases present detailed
descriptions of the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of disease.
The book begins with an up-to-date general discussion of selection
and use of laboratory diagnostic and prognostic tests. Cases are
then grouped by category, including cardiovascular, pulmonary,
renal, liver, gastrointestinal, endocrine, gynaecologic &
obstetrical, haematological, CNS, lipid, congenital, toxicological,
infectious, and autoimmune diseases.

Tietz’s Applied Laboratory Medicine, Second

* Presents over 100 cases organised by disease group

* Reflects latest treatment and risk factor guidelines, testing
algorithms and recommendations

* Newly covers coagulopathies, infectious diseases, and
autoimmune diseases

* Provides excellent coverage of relevant pathophysiology and
biochemistry, and includes cases in molecular diagnostics

* Discusses legal implications

This book is an invaluable resource for all clinical chemists,
clinical lab technologists, pathologists, and allied health
professionals. It is also of interest for general practitioners,
residents, medical students, and educators.
