| Summary |
"Fundamentals of Urine and Body Fluid Analysis, second edition, provides complete coverage of the collection and analysis of urine, fecal specimens, vaginal secretions, and other body fluids such as cerebrospinal, synovial, seminal, amniotic, pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal fluids. This concise and well-organized textbook covers all aspects of fluid analysis from basic factual information and essential techniques and procedures to easy-to-grasp explanations of how data is correlated with the basic knowledge of anatomy and physiology to understand pathologic processes."--BOOK JACKET |
