Its 16.10 on a Friday afternoon on a busy on-call day: you have just managed to find the time to review and action your lab results:
37 results in the inbox... here we go...
 

  • Is this serious? Does the patient need admission to hospital today?
  • Its just out of the reference range - shall I consider that normal and tick as no action required?
  • Should I just repeat the test, but what testing interval is appropriate?
  • Are there other tests to request that may help in the diagnosis and management?

To answer these questions, and many more, the book is split into two main sections:

Clinical chapters covering clinical biochemistry, haematology, immunology and rheumatology, and microbiology, which review:

  • Managing individual abnormal test results
  • Background information
  • Causes
  • History and examination
  • Investigations: initial and further tests to consider
  • Referral
  • GP management tips
  • The role of specific tests
  • Indications for use
  • Interpretation tips

Investigations to consider for specific clinical scenarios and common signs and symptoms presenting to primary care:

  • Initial tests to perform
  • Further tests to consider

Lab Results Made Easy is essential reading for everyone looking to safely manage abnormal results in primary care - it will help with decision-making, especially at 16.10 (and later) on those Friday afternoons...
