Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests,
By MacHound "MacHound" (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests (Paperback)
I, too, have been using this reference for several years. I consider it to be one of the five most useful medical books on my shelf. This is probably the only book I feel the need to purchase every time there is an updated edition. I strongly recommend it for medical students, residents, midlevel providers and practicing physicians. It is a core reference in medical board review. It may also be of value for nursing staff in the hospital or clinic setting, especially for critical care nurses, or for anyone who is motivated to learn about medical diagnosis. The book is less likely to be useful to patients and their families, due to its highly technical nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The most complete, handy reference of lab tests ever written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests (6th) (Paperback)
I have been using this reference for several years. I can't practice medicine without it. I have made many esoteric diagnoses with it. It is extremely helpful whenever I have abnormal lab values, which do not seem to make sense at the time. Other lab references pale in comparison. Not only are abnormal labs explained, but the disease processes as well. I really like the way the book divides the elevated lab value from the decreased lab value, with their respective etiologies. An essential, excellent book!

Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests,
By Aletha W. Tippett M.D. (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests (Paperback)
An indispensable guide. Thorough and complete. Very helpful both in determining what tests to order, and how to interpret test results; especially helpful for the less common and more esoteric tests.
