A Manual of Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests:
Over the years, I have purchased 5 different lab reference manuals. This is the most comprehensive and easily understood lab reference manual I have ever owned.
Great reference:
I love this book. It provides all the information you need in a very readable format. I've been a medical writer for over 20 years, and this is the book I always turn to when I need to know more about a particular laboratory test. Every time it is updated, I buy the new version.
A manual of laboratory and dianostic tests:
the textbook was really good and i'm happpy that i bought this textbook on amazon. The textbook was new so i was happy that i got what i paid for.
Best Lab Values Interpretation book:
This well-written manual tells how and why labs are drawn, what the numbers mean, and gives reasons for abnormal values. It includes relationships among different tests and test results. Fabulous! I think this book is indispensable for patients and caretakers, as well as home care nurses who want to know what all those numbers mean, and how to interpret changes.
