Professional Review:

With up-to-date, clinically relevant information, Mosby's Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference, 8th Edition is the perfect user-friendly guide to everything you need to know about laboratory and diagnostic tests. Test entries are organized alphabetically, making it perfect for quick reference, and extensive page references help tie together related tests and studies. Each test entry includes, where relevant: alternate or abbreviated test names; type of test; normal findings; possible critical values; test explanation and related physiology; contraindications; potential complications; interfering factors; procedure and patient care (before, during, and after); and abnormal findings. Related tests are extensively cross-referenced throughout the book. Plus, the book's small, portable size and durable cover make it a handy, on-the-spot reference.

Possible critical values are highlighted to alert the reader to situations requiring immediate intervention.
A symbol next to drug-related interfering factors highlight the effects of pharmacologic agents on tests.
Increased and decreased abnormal findings are highlighted with directional arrows.
Icon for patient teaching-related care indicates information that should be shared with patients and their families.
Home Care Responsibilities boxes provide important patient teaching guidelines and instructions for patients outside of acute care settings.
Each test concludes with a Notes section that enables readers to add their own information.
User's Guide to Test Preparation and Performance provides an overview and guidelines for each type of laboratory test and diagnostic procedure to ensure safety and accuracy.
Lists of tests by body system and test type allow the reader to quickly locate related studies.
Abbreviations for tests are listed on the end papers and symbols and units of measurement are listed in an appendix.

17 new test entries-including Ductoscopy, Thyroglobulin, Lactoferrin, and Human Papillomavirus-present the latest tests and procedures.

User Reviews:

Written on April 5, 2000
Summary: A MUST own!
I'm a 6th year medical student and I was looking for a book that could give me a quick, easy, yet complete method of evaluating laboratory exams right on the spot. With this book I got that and much, much more. Right from the book's size and weight to the complete and easy to read information, this book is done just right (it even comes with a waterproof cover to prevent the book from being easily damaged). It includes basic stuff like blood test and urinalysis to more advanced stuff including arthroscopy and mediastinoscopy. The book has it all. For each entry you get: type of test, normal findings (includes values), test explanation and related physiology, interfering factors, procedure and patient care, abnormal findings (lists the diseases that must be suspected); and in the cases that apply gives contraindications, and home care considerations. It has your basic index, plus a list of tests by type (eg. urine tests) and another list of tests by body system (eg. nervous system). All in all, the decision is a no-brainer, this book is a MUST for any medical student or physician. A 5-star rating is an understatement. Highly recommended!
