LAB VALUES INTERPRETATION: The Indispensable Guide to Quickly Learn and Interpret The Laboratory Results.Find and Understand Everything That Impacts a Diagnosis of Disease.

The media could not be loaded.  Some of the descriptions for high and low numbers were super necessary they included all possibilities and all ranges. The book is overall very complete. It's wonderful if you just want a fundamental understanding of nursing lab values, but if you want more, I recommend getting a pathophysiology book.

Doctors sometimes prefer to reassure you that everything is fine rather than telling you that your levels are borderline low or high. This can provide you with a wealth of information on what to look for as well as forewarn you of impending problems. This book is a clear introduction to how to read your results and not have to call the doctor each time.

The media could not be loaded.  I was looking for a reference book to assist with clinicals. I feel this is very helpful for someone on the street wanting to learn more about lab values but if you want to know more about what high and low value could indicate I would not recommend.

This book is fantastic if you are not a medical provider, however if you are a medical provider pass on this one. The book itself first references that this can be a healthcare provider resource, then devolves into only referencing physical therapists, and then moves into explaining things as a patient.

I think this was an older version I got for some reason.

Does not give the norms for the labs. It is worthless in clinic. Don't purchase

"When a lab value is outside of ref range, the physio / physical therapist must carefully anticipate any potential physiological alterations."

Misprint

This book will show you how to interpret and use the numbers we find in the tests, all those numbers that cannot be understood when doing simple blood tests and more. This manual explains laboratory values, the correct methods for obtaining laboratory samples, and much more. This book serves the purpose of guiding you in any interpretation of the laboratory value you work on, whether as a professional or not. I recommend the purchase.

I do blood tests 1 time every 3 months to better check my health, but I was having a hard time reading the results, even just out of curiosity, so I read this book which was very useful to me, full of information and concepts that explain how read the analyzes in general! I recommend reading if you, like me, do regular checks.

It is an indispensable guide full of useful advice.Inside you will find all the rules for reading some blood tests.So it is a valuable aid when used as a support after consulting a doctor.

This is a reference book that lists many different common lab tests and what the tests are for, what numbers are normal, and what the different test items mean. This information is very helpful to have and to know, and gives me peace of mind

This book is written in a way that even those outside the medical profession canunderstand. I was able to understand everything being discussed. Am I an expertnow? Absolutely not. But, my mind can be at ease because I now know what varioustests look for and I can really recommend it.
