I was required to have this book for a medical lab urinalysis class. The book is organized well and is fairly easy to read for a textbook. You don't get bogged down to heavily in the technical verbage. The color photos are great along with the descriptions. Some basic info is included at the beginning of the chapter to jog your memory if you don't remember your anatomy and physiology. The index is very useful and the glossery of terms was helpful for quick reference. The charts are nice and help to differentiate between similar testing results. I enjoyed reading this book and plan on keeping it for future reference. The only thing that might have made it better would be a hardback version. Being paperback it "flopped" around somewhat.
It is a low level read compared to my other mlt books but has great reference info that has helped me in much more than my Urine class over the years! Don't like that its paper back because I'm pretty rough with my books but at least its cheaper.
If you are doing anything involving urine specimens you need this book. It goes into details about every aspect of the urine. Weather it is low values or high values, this book breaks it down where anyone can understand it. Learned a lot from this book.
This is a good book with nice tables and high quality pictures. The text is also easy to read. I am a clinical pathology resident and suggest this book for residents who would like to learn the details of the urine and body fluid analysis.
It's alright, I was expecting some damage but the entire back cover and index of the book have obvious spill stains and it looks like it was soaked in water... kind of hard to use the end of the book.
(pro) +++++ Good book for urine analysis(minor con) - Answers for End of chapter 3 test are misprinted and need to be editedOther than that the book has been a good tool/aid for urinalysis class.
I got this for school because the professor required it. Good pictures and tons of information for how quickly we are covering material. Book came timely fashion and looked perfect.
Very helpful book. Great pictures and explanations. I'm planning on keeping this one for reference in my work. I normally sell my books right when the class is finished.
