This should be a core text for any renal ward area (Journal of Renal Nursing )
Product Description
Modern medicine is highly complex and investigations are a key part of the diagnostic process. With major advances in technology there are thousands of clinical and laboratory tests available. This book provides a patient-oriented approach to investigation. The first chapter describes key symptoms and signs along with tests that may be of value in reaching a diagnosis. The remainder of the book is specialty-centred and provides a comprehensive review of all available tests within a given subject. The aim is of the book is to provide a more rational method of investigation and prevent over-investigation which is expensive for the hospital and unpleasant for the patient. It emphasises which tests are of value, when tests are not likely to be helpful, along with pitfalls in the interpretation of results. This new editoon has been updated throughout to incorporate current investigations and management of disease. Chapters on rheumatology, radiology, and renal medicine have been extensively revised. With contributions from active clinicians who are engaged in medical practice, the book will be of value to senior medical students facing finals examinations, and junior doctors who are responsible for ordering tests on their patients.

Format:Paperback
Working as a Laboratory Supervisor in a Pathology Laboratory it is hard to find a nice handbook that doesn't begin with one discipline and end there too. This particular Oxford Handbook is an absolute must to sit beside your computer or microscope. It covers just enough of on each topic without overloading, which is a great asset for those who just want to know what it is, rather than its complete life story. Personally I purchased this with the new edition of the Oxford Handbook of Medical Sciences, and find them to be a perfect set for someone working in a Pathology Laboratory. There are some other great books out there, but honestly if you are starting out a collection - please start here.
