Book Description
Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry; 2nd Edition; (PDF) is a well-illustrated; user-friendly reference on veterinary laboratory diagnostic techniques and interpretation. Covering both hematology and chemistry for a wide range of species; including reptiles; amphibians; birds; and fish. The ebook provides an overview of these critical veterinary skills. This Second Edition includes many revisions and additions; including new chapters on molecular diagnostics of hematologic malignancies and lipid pathology; updates to reflect advances in diagnostic instrumentation and capabilities; significant revisions to the data interpretation chapter to provide introductory guidance; and current information on immunodiagnostics and laboratory diagnostics of endocrine; renal; and calcium metabolic pathologies.
Beginning with the basic principles of laboratory testing and diagnosis; the ebook moves into in-depth information on the hematology and chemistry of common non-domestic and domestic species. Clinical case presentations; supplying case data; and offering narrative discussions to promote skills; have been expanded and incorporated into the body of the book. Packed with useful information for veterinary students; pathologists; technicians; and researchers; Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry 2e is an essential addition to any veterinary library.
