This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, 4e (Paperback)
This book makes understanding lab tests easy. It is a great book for those interested in learning about lab values on their own or as required by their profession. I have read other diagnostic lab test manuals that have left me more confused than if I had not read them but this is not the case with this book.

This review is from: Mosby's Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests, 4e (Paperback)
I love this book, I have recommended it to all my nursing classmates, and I use it at work. This is an excellent book and I have learned so much more from it. It goes into really good detail on all tests. What the test is, why its important, what its for, gives rationals for abnormal values. I cant stress enough how great this book is.
