Sharkey: Manual of Veterinary Clinical Chemistry: A Case Stu

Leslie C. Sharkey (Author), Judith Radin (Author)

This title provides veterinary students and non-specialist with a case study base workbook
which serves as a guide to effective use and interpretation of clinical chemistry laboratory
methods in domestic animals.

There are over 100 case studies involving real patients and findings in dogs, cats, horses,
lamas, alpacas, pot belled pigs and ferrets. Case studies consist of patient history, physical
examination findings, and clinicopthologic data such as CBC, urinalysis, cytology
or fluid analysis.

A summary is given for each patient that includes a description of follow up tests and response
to treatment. Multiple cases of common diseases are included to illustrate the variety
of clinciopathologic findings with the same diagnosis depending on individual patient factors.

Diagnostic dilemmas in which different diseases may present with similar clinical signs
and laboratory data are also included.
