Body Fluids Morphology Bench Guide

The ideal quick-reference image guide covering all major body fluid types as presented in the new Kjeldsberg's Body Fluid Analysis. Over 120 beautiful images are presented in this concise, easy to navigate spiral-bound reference book. Each major fluid type is sorted and labeled according to disease mechanism.

A full-color text, lab manual, & atlas—all in one! Here are all the tools medical laboratory science students need to master the principles of hematology and the fundamentals of hemostasis. Author Denise M. Harmening has curated contributions from a team of expert educators and clinicians. With support from her Associate Editor LeAnne Hutson, she brings you comprehensive, yet focused coverage that prepares you for the real world in which you will practice. Begin with an introduction to clinical hematology and the anemias, and then progress through white blood cell disorders and hemostasis to thrombosis and laboratory methods.

The literature references in this volume are intended for those individuals who are presently engaged, or those who desire to work, in the determination of the substances encountered in the analysis of human body fluids using the gas chromatographic method. The human body fluids covered include amniotic fluid, bile, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, human milk, saliva, seminal fluid, and urine, and the bibliography also includes some general references which may be help ful to the chromatographer whose interest lies in the examination or assay of body fluids. Biochemists, forensic scientists, clinical chemists, toxicologists, laboratory technicians, pharmaceutical chemists, and others engaged in the administration of drugs to overcome disease or malfunctions of human body mechanisms which may be observed or detec~ed through the assay of the body fluids should find this work of value. Body fluid analysis has also been found to be of value for the detection of illicit drugs, sports doping, alcohol overuse, as well as exposure to dangerous chemicals in polluted areas. Almost every literature reference is followed by a CA (Chemical Abstracts) number, which the reader can use to find an abstract of the reference, along with the information necessary to contact the author(s) for reprints of the cited reference. Sufficient information is furnished for published articles to be obtained, in their entirety, from libraries providing duplication service.

Reworked with expanded chapters that now cover urine, semen and specialized body fluids such as vitreous fluid and sweat, this is the only fluids book available that goes beyond morphology and features extensive new ancillary methods in cytogenetics, flow cytometry, IHC, and molecular analysis.
