Lab Tests Online

The library has recently made a link on our “For Patients and Consumers” site to Lab Tests Online. This site, hosted by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry, provides easy to read quality information on diagnostic lab tests. The entries are written in a Q&A format and contain information on what the test attempts to diagnose and how the test is administered. A section on “How Reliable is Laboratory Testing” helps to explain in simple terms why tests do not always rule in or rule out a diagnosis 100% of the time. This is a high-quality site for you to recommend to your patients who wish to learn more about their tests.
