A Quick Guide to Metabolic Disease Testing Interpretation (eBook, ePUB)

Testing for Inborn Errors of Metabolism

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Accurate interpretation of the organic acid chromatographs obtained from the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry requires a significant amount of practice. Pattern recognition is an important factor and a skill that is gained through time and effort. A Quick Guide to Metabolic Disease Testing Interpretation, Second Edition, provides these example chromatographs demonstrating specific disease-related metabolites for the inborn error of metabolism diagnosed via this method. One or more representative chromatographs from each of the common disorders is presented, with the important compounds noted on the chromatographs. This is a must-have for laboratory and medical professionals who interpret testing for the diagnosis and monitoring of IEM.

• Includes pathway diagrams and representative compound scans of important diagnostic compounds
• Provides illustrative chromatographs from selected disorders to aid in diagnosing common inborn errors of metabolism
• Highlights brief descriptions of the etiology and clinical presentation of each presented disorder

Autorenporträt

Dr. Jones is the Clinical Director of the Chemistry and Metabolic Disease Lab at Children's Medical Center of Dallas and a Professor of Pathology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Her PhD is in Molecular Biology with a minor in Biochemistry. Her duties include instructing pathology residents and various fellows in aspects of clinical chemistry and metabolic disease testing, and acting as a clinical consultant at the Dallas County hospital (Parkland) and the university hospital system. Her research interests lie in the field of inborn errors of metabolism, especially disorders of fatty acid metabolism.
Dr. Jones has been an active member of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) since 1986, serving on numerous committees for that association. She is currently the AACC President-elect and will be AACC President in 2016. She is the Past-President of the National Academy of Clinical Biochemists (NACB) and American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC).
