This second edition successfully helps pathology residents have a good command of clinical chemistry, toxicology, immunology, and laboratory statistics, as well as to pass the American Board of Pathology examination. Clinical chemistry is a topic in which many senior medical students and pathology residents face challenges. Clinical Chemistry, Immunology and Laboratory Quality Control, Second Edition meets this challenge head on with a clear and easy-to-read presentation of core topics and 70 case studies that illustrate the application of clinical chemistry knowledge to everyday patient care.This succinct reference offers practical examples of how things function in the pathology clinic with useful lists, Key Points, case studies, and a bullet-point format ideal for quick pre-Board review. Understanding laboratory data is essential in patient care and this simple and concise review solves this problem with basic clear information. While larger textbooks in clinical chemistry provide highly detailed information regarding instrumentation and statistics, this may be too much information for students, residents, and clinicians. This book is designed to educate senior medical students, residents, and fellows, and to "refresh" the knowledge base of practicing clinicians on how tests are performed in their laboratories.
