This thoroughly updated Second Edition of Clinical Laboratory Medicine provides the most complete, current, and clinically orientated information in the field. The text features over 70 chapters (seven new to this edition), including medical laboratory ethics, point-of-care testing, bone marrow transplantation, and specimen testing providing comprehensive coverage of contemporary laboratory medicine. Sections on molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics, and laboratory management plus the emphasis on interpretation and clinical significance of laboratory tests (why a test or series of tests is being done and what the results mean for the patient) make this a valuable resource for practicing pathologists, residents, fellows, and laboratorians. 800 illustrations are included in the book (353 in full colour and 270 new to this edition).
