Laboratory Medicine and the Aging Process

By Joseph A. Knight and M.D. Knight, Joseph A.

Providing a diagnostic guide to the pathologic assessment of the elderly, this work focuses on clinical chemistry and discusses the indicators of age-related diseases. It also clarifies which laboratory abnormalities indicate correctable problems of poor nutrition, inactivity, obesity and multi-drug medications. Guidelines to appropriate laboratory testing and interpretation of results offer further help in distinguishing disease, age-related disorders and normal age-related changes.
