DESCRIPTION
The most student-friendly clinical chemistry text available today,
this fully updated 8th Edition keeps students at the forefront of
what continues to be one of the most rapidly advancing areas of
laboratory medicine. With clear explanations that balance analytic
principles, techniques, and correlation of results with coverage of
disease states, the book not only demonstrates the how of clinical
testing, but also the what, why, and when of testing correlations to
help students develop the knowledge and interpretive and analytic skills they’ll need in their future ca-
reers. Comprehensive and easy to understand, the 8th Edition now features an entirely new chapter, new
and updated learning aids, and an unparalleled suite of teaching and learning resources.
