PrefazioneC’è, senza dubbio, un numero enorme di test di laboratorio disponibili. Come fare per capire quali ordinare e quando, quali evitare e che significato hanno? Se partite in quarta, senza gli strumenti adatti per scegliere e interpretare i test di laboratorio adatti al vostro paziente, le cose possono complicarsi molto velocemente. Lo scopo di questo libro è aiutarvi a capire che direzione prendere e come districarvi tra le tante possibilità per trovare i test migliori per il vostro paziente.Non abbiamo la pretesa di trattare tutto. Ci sono altre fonti eccellenti – e alquanto vaste – che potete consultare per ottenere tutti i dettagli di ciascun test di laboratorio possibile e immaginabile. Detto questo, abbiamo raccolto in queste pagine molte informazioni. E, cosa più importante secondo noi, abbiamo sempre messo in evidenza come ogni test può essere applicato nella pratica clinica. Ci occuperemo dei test di laboratorio più comuni, più importanti e più utili. Indicheremo i test che non sono efficaci e vi diremo perché. Questo libro ha un taglio molto pratico. Vi servirà da guida ed è fatto per essere usato.Noi abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per scrivere un libro conciso e di facile lettura. Condivideremo con voi i concetti che dovete sapere, le opinioni degli esperti e anche il nostro punto di vista. Non preoccupatevi, vi avvertiremo sempre quando esprimeremo le nostre opinioni personali.Dovete fare attenzione a una cosa: quando si tratta di interpretare i risultati di laboratorio (ad esempio, se un valore è normale o anomalo in un dato contesto clinico), capita spesso che vari esperti e organizzazioni non siano dello stesso parere. Per non essere troppo prolissi, abbiamo scelto solo i valori e le interpretazioni normali, che sono usate più frequentemente. Vi segnaleremo comunque quando un test o la sua interpretazione è particolarmente controverso. In tal caso, non esitate a consultare il personale più esperto della vostra istituzione se avete dei dubbi.Riteniamo a questo punto doveroso ringraziare tutti i clinici eccellenti – ognuno col suo diverso background e professione clinica – che, in corso d’opera, hanno letto, corretto ed espresso la loro opinione sul libro. Non saremmo riusciti a portare a termine il nostro lavoro senza di voi: Shreya Chablaney, MD; Karmela Chan, MD; Matthew Copeland, DO; Doruk Erkan, MD, MPH; David Lam, MD; Erin Love, PA; James Malatack, MD; Virginia Malatack, MD; Amanda Reyes, MD; Anthony Rowe, MD; Jonathan Salik, MD; Varun Sharma, MD; Molly Shay; Ritu Shrotriya, MD; Lindsay Stagg, PA; e Alison Thaler, MD. Desideriamo anche ringraziare tutti i nostri amici alla Wolters Kluwer, in particolare Joe Cho, Amy Millholen, Tom Conville, Venugopal Loganathan, Frances Gunning e Bhuvaneswari Rajendran.E adesso, benvenuto a L’unico libro di medicina di laboratorio di cui avrai bisogno. Siamo molto contenti di averti con noi! Jonathan E. Thaler, MDMalcolm S. Thaler, MD
