- Summary:
- Thrall (pathobiology, Ross U. School of Veterinary Medicine, West Indies) et al. offer veterinary students, technicians, pathologists, and researchers a reference on veterinary laboratory diagnostic techniques and interpretation that covers both hematology and chemistry for various species, including common domestic species, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In 37 chapters, veterinary pathologists from the US and New Zealand also cover general principles of lab testing and diagnosis, including sample collection, processing, and analysis of lab service options, and data interpretation and disease diagnosis. All aspects of the hemogram or complete blood count, bone marrow, hemostasis, and transfusion medicine are addressed. This edition adds new chapters on the molecular diagnostics of hematologic malignancies and lipid pathology; updates to reflect advances in diagnostic instrumentation and capabilities; revisions to the data interpretation chapter to provide introductory guidance; revisions to information on diagnostics related to pathology involving the liver, pancreas, blood proteins, and muscle, and electrolyte and acid-base pathology; and current information on immunodiagnostics and laboratory diagnostics of renal, endocrine, and calcium metabolic pathologies. It removes some procedures that are no longer used. Clinical case presentations (previously in a supplement) have been expanded and incorporated.
