Accurate Results in the Clinical Laboratory : A Guide to Error Detection and Correction

Addresses interference issues in all laboratory tests, including patient epigenetics, process of specimen collection, enzymes, and biomarkers. Intended to help clinicians become proficient in identifying erroneous reports, understand the source of interferences, correct the results, and then decide what course of action to follow for proper patient management.

This practical, easy-to-use guide addresses interference issues in all laboratory tests, including patient epigenetics, process of specimen collection, enzymes, biomarkers. Clinicians and laboratory scientists can therefore rely on one reference which speaks to both their needs of accurate specimen analysis and optimal patient care. Erroneous hospital and pathology laboratory results can be confusing and problematic, especially in acute care situations. While some factors creating interference, can be identified in the laboratory, detecting many others is often dependent on clinical details.
