Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis: Clinical Laboratory testing from a Functional Perspective
Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis Clinical Laboratory testing from a Functional Perspective Author:Dicken Weatherby, Scott Ferguson How would you like to use a system of Blood Chemistry and CBC analysis that was guarenteed to: — Help you get more from the tests you are already performing? — Make your blood chemistry testing an indispensable screening tool? — Increase your competency with blood chemistry analysis? — Show how a regular blood test can be used as a prognostic marker... more » of dysfunction? Most doctors use the conventional reference ranges for their blood chemistry and CBC interpretation. Unfortunately these ranges are designed to identify and diagnose disease states and pathology. People who fall within the reference ranges are assumed to have no disease and are considered clinically "normal". We know that most of our patients are by no means normal, so why do we use an interpretive method that is based on that assumption? This book presents a diagnostic system of blood chemistry and CBC analysis that focuses on physiological function as a marker of health. By looking for optimum function we increase our ability to detect dysfunctions long before disease manifests. Conventional lab testing becomes a truly preventative and prognostic tool. Includes:
In-depth coverage of 52 blood tests with optimal and functional values
62 patterns of functional disorders that most physicians do not get from normal reference ranges
11 nutrient deficiencies that can be seen in blood chemistry and CBC tests
36 special topics and in-office tests
