Description
Required reading in clinical pathology since 1908! Comprehensive coverage gives you an in-depth understanding of lab test selection and
interpretation of results. A new full-color layout makes reference much easier. What's more, new chapters on laboratory regulations,
nutrition, point-of-care testing, bioterrorism, proteomics, microarray analysis, and the human genome project - as well as a completely
new section on cancer testing and meticulous updates from cover to cover - put all the latest, most essential knowledge at your fingertips.
Audience
Pathologists, Laboratory Medicine Specialists, Transfusion Medicine Specialists, Primary Care Physicians, Lab Technicians, Medical Students
in Pathology, Lab Medicine and Introduction to Clinical Medicine Courses, Allied Health Students in Medical Technical Courses, Blood
Banks, Community Health Centers, Hospital Libraries and Health Science Libraries
