Provides the information needed to interpret clinical laboratory assays of domestic mammals Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Third Edition presents thoroughly updated and detailed information to promote appropriate clinical laboratory testing and interpretation of test results for common domestic mammals. Presented in an easy-to-use outline format complemented by many relevant tables and illustrations, the book is now in full color. This evidence-based guide synthesizes the laboratory principles, physiology, assays, analytical concepts, pathophysiologic states, and pathophysiologic processes relevant to detecting, evaluating, and understanding disorders in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, and camelids. Content additions include two entirely new chapters on synovial and cerebrospinal fluid analysis, as well as expanded sections on blood typing and crossmatching, viscoelastic testing, protein electrophoresis, positive acute-phase proteins, mixed acid-base disorders, vitamin D analysis, analytical and biological variation, blood smear evaluation, and more. New clinical tests and methods, useful data patterns, and additional disorders and pathologic processes are integrated throughout. Providing a conceptual understanding applicable to many species and serving as a valuable clinical reference, Fundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology: Uses consistent terminology and chapter organization featuring separate sections for physiologic concepts, analytical methods, and interpretation of resultsProvides pathophysiologic explanations of laboratory abnormalitiesAllows easy access to information on disorders and conditions, grouping them by common mechanisms or processes and ordering them in parallel across interpretive tables and textFeatures a wealth of high-quality illustrations and photomicrographs throughout the text Includes extensive referencing on the companion website to support statements and provide direction for further readingFundamentals of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Third Edition is an excellent textbook for veterinary students taking clinical pathology courses, as well as a valuable resource for clinical and anatomic pathology residents, medicine and surgery residents, and practicing veterinarians.

This book provides in-depth information about common clinical laboratory assays that are used to evaluate domestic mammals, including what assays measure, sample or assay conditions that affect results, and what results indicate about the physiologic or pathologic state of a patient. Whenever possible, diseases and conditions are grouped by common mechanisms or processes to promote a conceptual understanding of laboratory data that can be generally applied across many species. New to the second edition are additional disorders, diagnostic tests, illustrations, images, references, and pathophysiologic explanations. This text has proven valuable to students and veterinarians wanting a fundamental understanding of veterinary clinical pathology.
