Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry

Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry, Second Edition 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 birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, the book 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 renal, endocrine, and calcium metabolic pathologies.

Beginning with the basic principles of laboratory testing and diagnosis, the book moves into in-depth information on hematology and chemistry of common domestic and non-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, technicians, pathologists, and researchers, Veterinary Hematology and Clinical Chemistry is an essential addition to any veterinary library.

Rezensionen

"It will also prove to be of benefit for clinical
pathology residents and specialists who deal with nondomestic and
exotic species." (Journal of The American Veterinary
Medical Association, 15 March 2013)

"I found the self-study part really useful . . . A great
investment to help you decipher the mysteries of the lab
reports." (Tomorrow's vets, 1 September
2013)

"This book cannot be highly recommended enough to the vet
student, and I believe it is just as indispensable for the
veterinary surgeon in practice - no mean feat for a
textbook." (Veterinary Practice News, 1
September 2013)

"In summary, this is a comprehensive text with a strong
practical and clinical focus and. It's clearly written and
supplemented by generous numbers of quality images . . . This book
has a small animal bias and as such will be of greatest interest to
small animal clinicians, but will also be valuable to clinicians
seeing mixed practice, or delving into providing small mammal or
exotic pet clinical pathology." (Australian
Veterinary Journal, 9 September 2013)

"The second edition certainly fulfils its stated objective
and is a valuable resource for its targeted audience. It will
also prove be benefit for clinical pathology residents and
specialists who deal with nondomestic and exotic
species." (Journal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association, 15 March 2013)
"Overall, I think this book is well written and beautifully
presented. It appears to bridge the gap between undergraduate
and postgraduate readers and covers all the species likely to be
encountered in mixed veterinary practice."
(Veterinary Record, 16 March 2013)

"Mary Anna Thrall, et.al.'s VETERINARY HEMATOLOGY AND CLINICAL
CHEMISTRY, 2ND EDITION (9780813810270, $99.99) offers a key to
understanding veterinary laboratory diagnostic techniques and
interpretation and covers hematology and chemistry for a range of
species to include fish, amphibians and birds. This second edition
includes many revisions and additions, from new chapters on
molecular diagnostics of hematologic malignancies to updates in
advancements on diagnostic technology and revisions to data
interpretation. Both elementary basics and advanced laboratory
techniques are covered in a guide that offers over seventy case
studies to help readers understanding the entire laboratory
process, making for a top recommendation for veterinary reference
collections." (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 December
2012)
"It's a powerful reference packed with practical applications and
should be considered a 'must' for any veterinary reference
library." (Midwest Book Reviews, 1 November 2012)
