The first edition, Laboratory Evaluations in Molecular Medicine, has been well received by those interested in clinical laboratory tests for identifying nutrients, toxicants, and other factors underlying patient health and disease. It was the first of its kind, pulling together much of the scientific literature’s foundation for these tests and explaining their interpretation and clinical application in a systematic manner. The second edition incorporates the most recent advances in this field along with improved graphics, case illustrations and summary charts.
The goal in presenting the second edition, Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine, is to organize and explain the various tests that are available so as to make their study and use more applicable to medical education and clinical practice. The primary focus of this book is on the laboratory test themselves and how the test results are used clinically. The editors hope that the integration of descriptive text, summary tables, full color illustrations and over 3800 citations to the medical and scientific literature will help clinicians make broader use of these tests and concomitant therapies to improve patient outcomes.
Features:
- 672 pages
- Keyword searchable CD-ROM included with every book featuring the full text, graphics, and index of the book
- More than 175 full color graphics and figures to enhance your understanding
- Extensive use of tables throughtout the book gives at-a-glance reference to abnormalities, interpretations, and related factors
- 80+ case illustrations
- Over 3800 scientific citations
Benefits:
This book can be your single source reference for the testing most used in your practice to identify candidates for nutrient interventions and to evaluate toxic or metabolic issues. Whether you want to review the significance of a single measurement or to interpret complex multiple profile data, you can quickly find the information you need to design effective treatments.
Quotes:
“Humility is the primary requirement for the practice of Integrative Medicine. If you can supply that, then Richard Lord and Andy Bralley's book will equip you with the second item in your tool kit -a compass and map for navigating the daunting landscape of biochemical individuality.”
– Sidney M. Baker, MD
“I am excited to recommend the new volume entitled Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicine. Rather than being an esoteric biochemistry text, it provides intelligent and comprehensive discussion of invaluable clinical information and provides direct guidance to investigate the source of patient problems. The information is well organized, it is interesting, and it serves both as a reference book as well as an instructional guide for state-of-the-art laboratory testing.”
– Stephen J. Genuis, MD, FRSC, DABOG, DABEM, FAAEM
