The prognosis of a disease often depends on the timing of therapeutic invention, which in turn strongly relies on a reliable and quick diagnosis. Laboratory diagnostic pathways are algorithms that give structure to the diagnostic process, thereby minimizing the risk of mistreatment, shortening the hospital stay, and lowering the cost for treatment.

This book offers 70 diagnostic algorithms that lead physicians and laboratory personnel through the diagnostic process in a step-by-step fashion. In Part One, general basics, infrastructure, and economic aspects are discussed and tipps for implementation are given. Part Two introduces screening methods for cases without a suspected diagnosis as well as specific pathways for stepwise diagnosis of the most common diseases, accompanied by information on pathophysiology, preanalytical measures, implementation, and interpretation of results.

Industry Reviews

"Die geringe Große des Buches lasst zunachst nicht auf die geballte enthaltene Information schließen. Trotzdem kommt das Buch aufgeraumt daher und wirkt nicht uberfullt. Einfache aber gelungene Schemazeichnungen, Tabellen und Grafiken strukturieren den Inhalt. Die schlichte Gestaltung ermoglicht ein konzentriertes erarbeiten von typischen labordiagnostischen Pfaden. Der komplett englische Text des Buches erklart so viel wie notig, ist aber so knapp wie moglich. Gerade in Zeiten in denen das einfache Anklicken von Bestimmungen im Laborprogramm haufig komplexen klinischen Erwagungen ersetzt, ist das Buch eigentlich ein ''must read''."
