Product Description
The 3rd edition of this widely used resource offers superb guidance on diagnostic and laboratory testing for health professionals in both academic and clinical settings. The chapters are organized by test type and each chapter begins with a list of the tests covered within the test type, as well as an overview of that category including specimen collection techniques. The tests are presented in a consistent format that includes normal findings, indications, contraindications, potential complications, interfering factors, procedure and patient care, test results and clinical significance, and related tests. This full-color book is easy to use and covers virtually every clinically significant test, including more than 50 new to this edition.* A full color interior design and over 140 vivid color photographs and illustrations depict procedures, equipment, techniques, and concepts, making the content more visually appealing to the reader and the concepts easier to understand. * Comprehensive coverage of all diagnostic and laboratory tests routinely performed today. Over 700 individual tests are covered in approximately 360 entries. * Clinical Significances of test results, indicated in italic type, explain the pathophysiology of disease processes and how they relate to test results. * Color-coded chapter thumb-tabs, alphabetically organized chapters, and two lists of all tests (Appendix A, Alphabetical List of Tests and Appendix B, List of Tests by Body System) make every test easy to find. * Critical Values are highlighted with color to alert the reader to situations requiring immediate intervention.

This book is useless. I only bought it for school and once I was able to sell I back I ran this thing back to the book store to get rid of it.

As usual, the book I purchased "Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic & Laboratory Tests" arrived right on time, in perfect condition. Amazon has a tremendous selection, fair pricing with the ability to purchase "used" books. I have purchased "used" books and have been totally satisfied and the description that is given about the condition of the books is an added bonus!!
Thank you Amazon.com for all of your services!!

I purchased this book after looking at a friend's copy. Its great for figuring out what test results actually mean (especially for CBCs and BMPs). It breaks down every test, what its used for, when to order it - and what it means when high or low. Great reference for anyone in the medical field.
ps -I saw 3 copies of this book in the ICU the other day...
Even a layperson can understand this March 9, 2008
I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law who is graduating from medical school in May. He requested this book. When it arrived, I started looking through it and found it very interesting and easy to understand even though I have no medical background. If you're looking for something that explains medical tests, this is very clear and informative and since doctors themselves use it, I would assume it is accurate.
