PY - 2015 T2 - DeGowin’s Diagnostic Examination, 10e AB - This chapter discusses normal and pathologic values for commonly ordered tests of the blood (cells and chemistries), urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and serous fluids. The tests discussed are commonly used to formulate physiologic and diagnostic hypotheses. The much more numerous, specific tests used for confirming the diagnosis of a specific disease should not be used until a narrow differential diagnosis has been established. These more specific tests are not discussed here. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/19 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1139372197 ER -
