About the Book

Algorithms are becoming much more widely used in the clinical decision making process. Continued emphasis on laboratories to use tests effectively in terms of both time and cost led to an increase in the use of clinical protocols to direct clinical decision making. Understandably, these investigations require careful interpretation to optimize their diagnostic benefit. Algorithms in Chemical Pathology provides up-to-date guidelines for interpreting data by using algorithms to facilitate in the investigation and diagnosis of patients with biochemical disorders. This unique book has been carefully designed with all 49 algorithms being accompanied by a facing page of explanatory text. Clinical biochemists, chemical pathologists, hospital doctors, general practitioners and interested medical students, especially those studying for the MRCPath, will find this book a useful source of reference relevant to clinical chemistry.

Review :
It is intended to provide guidelines for the interpretation of laboratory data and thereby facilitate the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with biochemical abnormalities. The algorithmic approach makes good sense given the present emphasis on a more judicious utilization of clinical and laboratory resources in diagnosis and patient care... It provides brief reviews of the more common algorithms for the interpretation of clinical biochemistry laboratory tests. Doody's June 1998
