The Quick Guide to Coagulation Testing -- a joint effort of the Departments of Pathology and Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham -- is intended for health practitioners, residents, and students. Ordering and interpreting laboratory assays is often taken for granted, but the complexity of coagulation testing renders the understanding of laboratory results even more critical than in other areas. Lack of awareness of the effect of clinical conditions or the interference of drugs on hemostasis test results may lead to disastrous misinterpretations. The Guide was designed to be used as a speedy reference for anyone who orders, collects, performs, or interprets hemostasis laboratory tests. Its pocket size offers immediate access at the time and location tests are ordered. We included the most common hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions, their treatment with blood products or anticoagulants, and treatment monitoring. Diseases and assays are listed together. Our experience suggests that the Guide will be a valuable resource for many medical professionals.

The Quick Guide to Hematology Testing is a speedy reference for anyone who orders, performs, or interprets hematology laboratory tests including complete blood counts, bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow film examinations, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular techniques. Clear understanding of the significance of hematology laboratory results is critical and awareness of the effect of confounding factors leads to clinically sound interpretations. The Guide's pocket size provides immediate access at the time and location tests are ordered, performed, and interpreted. The text includes the most common anemias and leukemias, to emphasize their laboratory evaluation, treatment, and follow-up. Diseases and their assays are described together, so that all conditions may be correlated when a laboratory workup is warranted. Although the Guide reviews clinical conditions, it should never be used as single source for differential diagnosis of patients; instead, many current references are provided for further reading. The authors' local experience suggests that the Guide is a useful resource for medical professionals. They hope you will find it valuable, too!

New Second Edition! The Quick Guide to Coagulation Testing, Second Edition, is a quick-access, readily available pocket reference for health practitioners who order, collect, perform, or interpret hemostasis laboratory test results or administer hemostasis-related therapy. The Guide outlines the most common hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions together with their respective assays to emphasize correct laboratory evaluation. Treatment discussions include the prophylactic and therapeutic application of non-biological, synthetic, and human blood-derived components to control bleeding, and the use of antithrombotics designed to prevent or resolve arterial and venous occlusions. The emphasis is on proper dosing and valid laboratory monitoring of hemostatic therapy. New to the second edition is a series of introductory-reference tables summarizing hemostasis assays for various conditions with their reference intervals, and when applicable, therapeutic ranges. The discussion of platelet and coagulation physiology is expanded, platelet function testing is detailed, and new antithrombotic therapies are described with therapeutic monitoring recommendations. All portions of the second edition have been enhanced to reflect current international practice standards.
