If you are like most clinicians, you ask yourself these questions every day. You rely on lab tests to make important decisions regarding the care and management of your patients but you are short on time. That's why you need a resource that can deliver to you accurate information in a timely manner at the point of care. That resource is the Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket.
Other books simply list causes of an abnormal lab test. Our book does so much more - it is the only book that walks you from abnormal lab test to diagnosis through a series of steps. Step 1... Step 2... Step 3... These are step-by-step approaches you will not find elsewhere.
The first two editions of this book were only available as part of a package containing the larger Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine. This new 3rd edition, which will easily fit in your coat pocket, is now available alone.
Inside the book -
* Totally updated information to reflect the latest advances
* Over 100 differential diagnoses
* Nearly 40 redesigned algorithms
* More than 250 tables and boxes to allow for easy and quick access to key information
Whether you are a student, physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or pharmacist, you will find that this pocket guide has all the tools necessary to tackle the challenges of lab test interpretation. See why so many have considered it a must-have book.

I am an NP student about to graduate and have purchased this book for my reference library. I wish I had gotten it prior to now. It is excellent! Not only does it have algorithms to follow in for diagnosing, but it also has information about causes of abnormal test results, approaches to care and diagnosis, and basic information to add to your clinical knowledge. I also have Ferri's Best Test; although I like Ferri's, I love this book and find the size (pocket sized) and value of the information invaluable to my practice. Plus, you cannot beat the price. You will not find a cheaper lab book with as much information and usability as this one.By Kim Tharpe
PBL groups are becoming common place at most med schools. As a first year student, I know I was not alone in feeling completely lost when it came to interpreting lab values during these sessions. This information simply was not taught to us, so we would be forced to Google lab tests to figure out what they were really telling us. A lot of time would be wasted and often the searches led to useless results. Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket is an excellent, time-saving and more accurate alternative to this approach. It explains the basics of each laboratory test, the causes of abnormal values (i.e., the differential diagnoses one should consider), and the approach one should take following an abnormal result. It also provides several algorithms in the form of decision trees for assessing abnormal results. I can see this being an extremely useful resource in the years ahead during clerkship rotations and will be recommending this book to classmates.By Todd
In regards to other reviews that mentioned the font size, yes it is small but it should be a non-issue for the majority of med students with normal or myopic vision. If you're having trouble reading the text in this book, maybe it's time to invest in a good pair of reading glasses.
