Why can test results from different laboratories differ? What do elevated and decreased values indicate, and why do they change? This book debunks myths and provides the key to correctly interpreting results.
Dr. Sergey Vyalov's unique graphical guide explains how to understand the most common laboratory values simply and clearly. Each spread offers a ready-made algorithm for interpreting a specific test: a schematic diagram accompanied by a text explanation, as well as an explanation of the causes and mechanisms of increases and decreases for each indicator.
Blood, hormones, cholesterol and sugar, vitamins and microelements, inflammation indicators and tumor markers, immunity, and much more—the book covers a wide range of laboratory diagnostics and helps you decipher confusing medical terminology. Each indicator is provided with reference values separately for men and women, and an explanation of what an increase or decrease may mean. All materials are based on current clinical guidelines and the author's extensive medical experience.
Tests are not a cause for alarm, but a tool for a conscious approach to your health.
