AB  - This  chapter  outlines  commonly  ordered  blood  chemistry,  immunology,  and  serology  tests  and  other  common  laboratory  investigations.  Normal  values  and  a  guide  to  the  diagnosis  of  common  abnormalities  are  provided.  Additional  tests  are  described  in  the  following  chapters:  hematology,  Chapter  5;  urine  studies,  Chapter  6;  microbiology,  Chapter  7;  and  Blood  Gases,  Chapter  8.  Increased  or  decreased  values  that  are  not  clinically  useful  usually  are  not  listed.  Because  each  laboratory  has  its  own  set  of  normal  reference  intervals,  the  normal  values  given  should  be  used  only  as  a  guide.  Unless  specified,  values  reflect  normal  levels  in  adults.  The  method  of  collection  is  included  because  laboratories  have  attempted  to  standardize  collection  methods;  however,  be  aware  that  some  labs  may  have  other  collection  methods.  Blood  specimen  tubes  are  listed  in  Chapter  13,  Table  13–8.
