Editorial Review:
"What tests do I order, and what do the results mean?" Here is the compendium that provides the answers--quickly and clearly--for a vast range of adult and pediatric conditions. This thoroughly updated Seventh Edition of Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests is a must for residents and practitioners in every specialty. Arranged by organ system, the book summarizes the available tests for most diseases, explains what the results would mean, and discusses differential diagnoses. This edition features major revisions in cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, metabolic and hereditary, and genitourinary chapters, plus highlighted "Key Diagnostic Finding" information to aid accessibility. Readers can search for information in the way that best suits their needs--by index, table of contents, test results, or specific disease. Also included are extensive tables of normal and panic values, tables comparing test results in similar diseases, and an appendix of conversion factors between conventional and SI units.

Very useful! This is the one source for test interpretations that you need. Sensibility and specificity? This book will give you much more than that, including indications, limitations, factors that alter the results and more. I highly recommend it.

All in a minute consultation, really fast and easy to use. Simply very, very ... Read More
Rating: - Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests
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.
