(A companion reference to Effects of Drugs on Clinical Lab...)
A companion reference to Effects of Drugs on Clinical Laboratory Tests, Effects of Disease on Clinical Laboratory Tests, and Effects of Herbs and Natural Products on Clinical Laboratory Tests, this new edition completes the background information of what you need to know to interpret clinical laboratory test values. Many new entries are included, and entries from prior editions that are now obsolete have been deleted. Included in this volume are biological and preanalytical variables affecting laboratory test values, i.e., factors other than diseases, drugs, herbs, and natural products, which are included in other Effects publication. As with the other Effects publications, the information is organized into five sections. The first section lists laboratory tests; and the second, preanalytical variables with cross-referencing terms to facilitate searches. The third and fourth sections are alphabetic sorts by laboratory test and by preanalytical variable, respectively. Each entry describes the effect of a specific variable on a patient or a specimen removed from a patient, with a succinct explanation of the mechanism of the effect. The fifth and final section is a compilation of all the references, sorted in numerical sequence and provided to enable a more detailed understanding of the stated effect.

Edited by Donald S. Young, MD, PhD, AACC Effects on Clinical Laboratory Tests: Drugs, Disease, Herbs & Natural Products, is a continuation of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry's famous "Effects on Clinical Laboratory Tests" series edited by Donald S. Young, MD, PhD, Nils Tryding, MD, PhD, Richard B. Friedman, MD, Sheshadri Narayanan, PhD. Newly expanded and thoroughly revised, AACC Effects is an on-line database that can help practitioners interpret test results that may have been affected by the pre-analytical presence of a disease, drug, natural product, or other preanalytical variable. For a free trial, go to www.clinfx.com Published by Wiley on behalf of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, AACC Effects consolidates information on more than 171,000 interactions that may affect lab test results and quickly puts that information at your fingertips in a concise, manageable, user-friendly format. Online Access Provides Optimum Flexibility Because AACC Effects is an online resource, you can access the information you need from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop... anywhere Internet access is available. In addition, the online format allows for updates on a quarterly basis. The AACC Effects’ robust online search capabilities let you quickly refine your search by est/analyte, factor term, factor class, effect, mechanism, specimen, and ICD-9 (ICD-10 coming soon). With each search, users get a full interaction explanation. Links to PubMed and other resources are embedded.

This classic reference - a companion to the Effects of Drugs on Clinical Laboratory Tests and the Effects of Preanalytical Variables on Clinical Laboratory Tests - is significantly updated and expanded. More than 10,000 new entries are included, and several obsolete tests and entries of marginal value from the last edition have been deleted. This new edition allows the user to determine the pathological cause of laboratory test abnormalities; at what point in the disease course a test result can be affected; and how a test result can change over time depending on particular disease states. Following the format of the other volumes in the series, the book is divided into five sections: laboratory test index, disease keyword index, laboratory test listings, disease listings by ICD-9-CM code, and references. Each interaction entry includes the test name, the disease, and ICD-9-CM code; specimen type; direction of abnormality; and a discussion of the course, extent, and frequency of the abnormality (when available) with reference citation.
