Providing more tests than any other reference of its kind over 900 in all, including more than thirty that are all-new to this edition this outstanding book offers an alphabetical list of hundreds of diseases, conditions, and symptoms, as well as virtually every laboratory and diagnostic test available to clinicians today! Every test entry is up-to-date, concise, complete, and consistently presented. Plus, the book's ease-of-use and clear test descriptions make it an excellent choice for nursing students and primary care providers, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and medical doctors.

I've taught nursing for the past 22 years and this is by far the best lab book I've ever used. At first glance it may appear intimidating, but it is very user friendly. The first few pages are medical diagnoses and their common labs with the most critical few astericked. The majority of the text is alphabetized by lab name and includes not only the values, but panic values, highlighted boxes for signs and symptoms of toxicities and treatments for each, and an extensive list of causes for high and low levels. There is much more to this text, but these are the qualities I love most. If you want to prevent patient's problems or at least identify them early, this text is a must and it will make you look like a genius in the process! I won't leave home without it.

I find myself referencing this paperback over and over again for both personal and professional help. The information is organized and written in a very simple, easy to locate, and understandable fashion. It is very handy to have on your shelf.
