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 the pre-analytical variables that can affect test results, both in the clinic and laboratory. This book discusses biomarkers of endocrine and bone diseases from both clinical and laboratory perspectives, emphasizing the teamwork-based approach between the clinician and the laboratory professional in the diagnosis and management of endocrine and bone disorders.

The book focuses on the 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 evaluation of disorders. The authors also review common approaches to the measurement of the 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 a valuable resource for both clinicians and laboratory professionals, offering insights into the diagnosis and management of endocrine and bone disorders. It is an essential guide for those seeking to understand the complex interplay between clinical and laboratory aspects of endocrine and bone diseases.
