Presented in an easy-to-use outline format complemented by many relevant tables and illustrations, the book is now in full color. This evidence-based guide synthesizes the laboratory principles, physiology, assays, analytical concepts, pathophysiologic states, and pathophysiologic processes relevant to detecting, evaluating, and understanding disorders in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and camelids.
Content additions include two entirely new chapters on synovial and cerebrospinal fluid analysis, as well as expanded sections on blood typing and crossmatching, viscoelastic testing, protein electrophoresis, positive acute-phase proteins, mixed acid-base disorders, vitamin D analysis, analytical and biological variation, blood smear evaluation, and more. New clinical tests and methods, useful data patterns, and additional disorders and pathologic processes are integrated throughout.
Providing a conceptual understanding applicable to many species and serving as a valuable clinical reference, Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology:
Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Third Edition is an excellent textbook for veterinary students taking clinical pathology courses, as well as a valuable resource for clinical and anatomic pathology residents, medicine and surgery residents, and practicing veterinarians.
