Book Description

July 15, 2002 081382561X 978-0813825618 1
Developed from a comprehensive set of highly regarded veterinary lecture notes used in basic and clinical science courses, Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology provides:

  • In depth information about common laboratory testing procedures that are used to evaluate animals, including what the assays measure and what the results tell veterinarians about the physiologic and pathophysiologic processes that may be occurring in their patients.
  • Explanations of the pathogeneses of abnormalities via text, tables, and figures.
  • Examples of clinical laboratory data and appropriate interpretations.
  • Photomicrographs of cells and structures in blood and urine that are of clinical or diagnostic significance.
  • Extensive referencing of literature to provide sources of additional information for specific topics.

The book employs a modified outline style that allows readers easy access to specific information. The emphasis on the understanding of pathologic and physiologic processes is the key feature that sets this book apart from other clinical pathology texts.

Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology serves as an excellent reference for veterinary students, veterinarians, pathology and medicine residents, and clinical pathologists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Almost all the chapters begin wtih an expanded, useful list of topics. This textbook is particularly useful for residents in clinical pathology and internal medicine training programs. It is an outstanding reference for clinical pathologists and anyone involved in performing and interpreting clinical pathology data. Owners of the first edition should consider purchasing this book if the enhancements are essential to their job responsibilities.” - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, December 2008 

“This thorough textbook covers basic veterinary clinical pathology concepts. This edition includes more images and color plates. Aspects of cytology and bone marrow examination are new to this edition. The figures are one of the book's best features because they truly assist students in understanding the underlying mechanism of a process. Additional color plates have been added to this edition, which make the book more useful. This is a useful book for veterinary students, residents, and practitioners. Although the content is comparable to other texts, the level of detail is greater. The authors have made significant improvements in this new edition." - Doody's Book Reviews, October 2008 --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, October 4, 2002
By 
Patricia McManus (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology (Hardcover)
This is an excellent addition to the short list of available Veterinary Clinical Pathology textbooks. It is a comprehensive compilation of essential information for both large and small animal clinical pathology written in outline form, but with very readable text. I recommend it as an essential textbook for all veterinary interns, medicine and oncology residents, clinical and anatomic pathology residents, and veterinary libraries. It will be a valuable reference for veterinary students and should be added to a veterinary practitioner's library. I compliment the authors on their efforts!

This review is from: Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology (Hardcover)
This should be on every practitioner's shelf. It is effective for both quick, thorough reference and for technical explanation - vet students, buy this book. I wish more books struck such a readable balance.

5.0 out of 5 stars College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition, August 11, 2008
College-level libraries strong in veterinary references at the advanced level will appreciate the second updated edition of Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. It provides in-depth details about common clinical laboratory assays used to evaluate domestic animals and this edition adds additional disorders, diagnostics, images, references and more, covering abnormal lab data, revising color plates to include microscopic images, adding new chapters with accompanying websites, and rounding out the reference's information and impact.
