The same overall organization and content that clinical users have found so helpful over the past three editions has been updated, with new content being added to all areas. Section I includes: General Clinical Tests; More on amino acids and cardiovascular disease risk assessment in adults; Blood grouping and identification of red cell antibodies with specific antigens and procedures; The addition of bromide to the Electrolytes section; Updated information on the clinical utility of existing Endocrinology tests; Significant expansion in Hemostasis, including many new assays in thrombophilia and other areas.In the Immunology section, there are many new essays in cellular immunity, flow cytometry, and autoimmunity. It covers many more new drugs and methods under Interferences. In the section on Tumor Markers, there is added information about the FDA's new approval policy new topic: Geriatric Laboratory Testing. Section II covers: Molecular Pathology. This section has been expanded significantly to reflect the experiences laboratories have had with new DNA tests implemented over the last five years, especially in the areas of infectious diseases and identity testing. Section III covers: Therapeutic Drugs - Several newly introduced drugs have been added to this section. Section IV includes: Microbiology - General updates to match the advances in research and practice.

A complete blood count (CBC) or full blood count (FBC) is a common blood test that evaluates the three major types of cells in the blood - red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It is used to detect or monitor many different health conditions including diagnosing infections or allergies, detecting blood clotting problems or blood disorders, including anemia, and evaluating red blood cell production or destruction. This book is a practical guide for students and trainee pathologists to help with interpretation of CBC to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment of correlating diseases and disorders. Beginning with an introduction to CBC, the following sections describe different measurements and parameters for each of the three types of blood cells. The book includes 30 clinical case studies and numerous full colour images and illustrations. The final chapter discusses quality control. Key points *Practical guide to interpretation of complete blood count *Discusses parameters for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets *Presents 30 clinical case studies *Includes section on quality control *Nearly 180 full colour images and illustrations
