Description:

A laboratory discussion of the aging process concentrating on discerning the differences between age related diseases and other age factors that may influence testing. Besides a discussion of aging theories, the volume reviews diseases and disorders commonly affecting the elderly and their "appearance" in the laboratory, including disorders linked to oxygen-free radicals, coronary vascular disease, atherosclerosis, immune system disorders, diseases of the liver and kidney, neoplasia, and infectious diseases. These reviews are linked to other non-disease factors such as nutrition or over medication which can mask test results. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
