This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Clinical Pathology, written by Shirish M Kawthalkar, prepared for MBBS students studying the clinical pathology and laboratory medicine portion of their pathology course, and also useful for postgraduate students, BDS, nursing and medical laboratory technology students, and for laboratory practice. This Third Edition treats the subject the way it is used at the bench and at the bedside — each investigation is set out with its principle, the specimen required and how it is collected, the method and its sources of error, the normal reference values (सामान्य मान) and, most importantly, the interpretation of a result in the context of the patient, so that a student learns to read a report and not merely to perform a test. The book covers laboratory organisation, safety and quality control; specimen collection, anticoagulants and preservation; haematology including the complete blood count, red cell indices, peripheral smear examination, ESR, reticulocyte and platelet counts, bone marrow examination and the laboratory diagnosis of anaemias, leukaemias and haemoglobinopathies; bleeding and coagulation studies; blood grouping, cross-matching and transfusion medicine including component therapy and transfusion reactions; urine examination and renal function tests; cerebrospinal fluid, pleural, peritoneal and synovial fluid analysis; semen analysis and stool examination; liver function tests and other clinical chemistry investigations; and laboratory investigation of infections and immunological disorders. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
