Description This book provides information on how to interpret
laboratory tests and apply that information in clinical scenarios.
Purpose It is intended as a comprehensive reference for pharmacists
and pharmacy students on common laboratory tests. In addition to
laboratory tests, the book covers other diagnostic tests used in
clinical practice. This is an excellent resource for interpreting
and evaluating laboratory data. Audience Written for all practicing
pharmacists and students, the book does not target any particular
practice areas of pharmacy. Features Introductory chapters describe
general techniques and concepts in laboratory testing. Each
subsequent chapter discusses a different organ system and the
pertinent laboratory data used in diagnosing and treating disease
states and monitoring drug therapy. Chapters are designed with a
summary of pertinent points and include graphs, figures, and tables
to summarize information. Mini-cases explore application of the
data. The book provides a very thorough discussion of each
laboratory test and includes other tests (i.e. functional) that are
often used in the management of certain diseases. This fourth
edition adds chapters on women's health, men's health, and
pharmacogenomic testing and expands other chapters. Assessment
There are certainly discussions of laboratory interpretation in
other books, but I am unaware of another book specifically focused
on pharmacy. This thorough reference is helpful for all
practitioners regardless of their specific area of practice. The
new chapter on pharmacogenomics in this edition is particularly
pertinent. Reviewer Anna Wodlinger, Pharm.D., BCPS (Temple
