Endocrine Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination

Endocrine Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination, edited by Hossein Sadrzadeh and Gregory Kline, is a comprehensive guide that covers all pre-analytical variables affecting test results in both clinical and laboratory settings. This book discusses biomarkers of endocrine and bone diseases from both clinical and laboratory perspectives, emphasizing the teamwork-based approach between clinicians and laboratory professionals in diagnosing and managing endocrine and bone disorders.

The book focuses on traditional, current, and emerging clinical chemistry tests for endocrine and bone diseases, along with their application in individual clinical management. It presents a brief discussion of each disorder and its respective interrelationships, along with laboratory methodologies that can be used to aid in the evaluation of disorders. The authors also review common approaches to the measurement of relevant hormones, with a special focus on measures that require a structured clinical testing scenario.

Endocrine Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination reviews novel chemistry tests as potential means of future diagnostic tests. It provides an overview of the current methodology and controversies in the concept of target lipid levels, paying particular attention to the role of clinical chemistry in helping to implement population health targets.

This book is an essential resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and students seeking to understand the complex interplay between endocrine and bone diseases and the role of biomarkers in their diagnosis and management. With its comprehensive coverage and expert insights, Endocrine Biomarkers: Clinical Aspects and Laboratory Determination is a valuable addition to any medical library.
