More About This Textbook
Overview
Completely revised and updated, the 3rd Edition of this excellent resource delivers the guidance needed to select, perform, and evaluate the results of laboratory tests more effectively. This comprehensive reference bridges the gap between the clinical laboratory and medical management by relating pathophysiology to analytical results in health and disease. New topics include cytokines, cardiac function, organ transplantation and management principles.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: Earle W. Holmes, PhD(Loyola University Medical Center)Description: This is the third edition of what is considered by many to be the standard reference work in the field of clinical chemistry. The previous edition was published in 1994.
Purpose: This edition is intended to be the most authoritative and current source of information pertaining to clinical chemistry. Since clinical chemistry is a discipline that is continually changing, timely revisions of major reference works are both necessary and valuable.
Audience: This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference for students, residents, and practitioners alike. It is a bit too detailed for day-to-day use in the clinical chemistry portion of a medical technology curriculum. However, it is a "must-have" reference for clinical chemists and clinical pathologists and it should be available in the workplace for use by medical technologists and clinical pathology residents. It will also be a useful reference for laboratory-oriented practitioners in many medical specialties.
Features: The 50 chapters are divided into six sections. Compared to the previous edition, this edition contains seven new chapters that cover important emerging areas practice including laboratory management, organ transplantation, cytokines, and bone metabolism. Chapters that appeared in the second edition have been extensively revised to incorporate new material. The new edition contains 3000 more literature citations than the previous edition with most of the new references published between 1995 and 1997. The last chapter of the book is a compendium of useful information that includes conversion factors, constants, compositions of buffer solutions, nomograms, and reference values.
Assessment: As was the case for previous editions, this third edition is distinguished from most other clinical chemistry books in that it strikes just the right balance between the theoretical and clinical aspects of a topic and the technical and practical aspects of analytical approaches and test methodologies. The editors are recognized as leaders in the field, and the contributors to the various chapters are authorities both in their areas of practice and in clinical chemistry education and training. This third edition continues to set a high standard for practice-oriented reference works in the field of clinical chemistry.

This second edition textbook (the first was published in 1986) is a comprehensive publication on clinical chemistry and clinical laboratory medicine. The authors' purpose was to ""produce a comprehensive textbook on clinical chemistry that can serve the clinical laboratorian as an authoritative information resource in an ever-changing environment."" To keep this book updated and comprehensive are worthy and daunting objectives that the authors have accomplished in superb fashion. The authors intend this book to serve the clinical laboratorian, but I believe this textbook would also be of great benefit to medical students, residents, seasoned clinicians, nurses, medical technology students, and any other individual in the health care field who must deal directly or indirectly with the clinical laboratory. The authors have brought together a team of highly qualified and authoritative contributors and have done a fine job of editing this book. The book contains many high-quality illustrations. The references are current and pertinent. The table of contents has been revised and is laid out very well, as is the very helpful index. The reader will find laboratory theory, applications, procedures, and interpretations of many of the tests performed in the clinical laboratory. The overall appearance of the book is appealing; however, it is quite heavy to carry. This book is well written by a number of experienced authorities. Clinical laboratorians will find this book a welcome update of the first edition because it contains many new features, such as a separate section on laboratory management and a new chapter on nucleic acid biochemistry and diagnostic applications. University medical centerand community hospital libraries should have this book. It should also be readily available in all university, medical school, and science bookstores.3 Stars from Doody
