Infos

This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species. New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology.

Rezensionen

"Almost all the chapters begin wtih an expanded, useful list
of topics. This textbook is particularly useful for residents in
clinical pathology and internal medicine training programs. It is
an outstanding reference for clinical pathologists and anyone
involved in performing and interpreting clinical pathology data.
Owners of the first edition should consider purchasing this book if
the enhancements are essential to their job
responsibilities." - Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, December 2008

"This thorough textbook covers basic veterinary clinical
pathology concepts. This edition includes more images and color
plates. Aspects of cytology and bone marrow examination are new to
this edition. The figures are one of the book's best features
because they truly assist students in understanding the underlying
mechanism of a process. Additional color plates have been added to
this edition, which make the book more useful. This is a useful
book for veterinary students, residents, and practitioners.
Although the content is comparable to other texts, the level of
detail is greater. The authors have made significant improvements
in this new edition." - Doody's Book Reviews, October
2008
