Integrative and Functional Medicine Approach to Basic and Advanced Laboratory Interpretation: Clinician's Desk Reference

A must-have evidence-based clinician's desk reference for interpretation of basic and advanced laboratory testing through an Integrative and Functional Medicine approach. Written by respected author Wayne L. Sodano (Integrative Medicine Approach to Thyroid Disorders), Director of Medical Education at the College of Integrative Medicine (CollegeofIntegrativeMedicine.org). This must have clinician's reference book also includes a special section on Early Detection of Neurodegenerative Disease with details about specific laboratory test consideration and treatment options. It provides a clear understanding of conventional ranges, percentile ranges, and functional/optimal (biochemical) ranges as well as a comprehensive interpretation of laboratory tests; patterns of dysfunction associated with diseases; as well as non-invasive cardio imaging tests. It will become the single source of reference for laboratory test interpretation by integrative and functional medicine practitioners. 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. With 11 easy to read Appendices for rapid interpretation, using this desk reference is faster than a using a keyboard search! (Appendix 1 includes a three-tier assessment for over 230 analytes that describes non-disease causes of analyte change, disease causes of analyte change, and drug-induced cause of analyte change.)
