Laboratory Diagnosis. A Guide for Practicing Physicians

Why do we regularly take our cars to specialists for diagnosis and maintenance, while we push our own bodies to the limit, often oblivious to the first signs of malfunction? When is the right time to have a check-up? What tests should be done regularly, and which ones—according to specialists’ recommendations? The new book edited by the renowned domestic physician A.L. Vertkin compiles the main recommendations for doctors of various specialties: hematologists, gastroenterologists, therapists, cardiologists, endocrinologists, and others. The book will also be useful for patients, as it will help understand the physician's motivation in determining the scope of diagnostics.
