Clinical toxicological analysis: procedures, results, interpretation

This handbook for the laboratory toxicologist is rather unique among the clinical toxicology literature in that it places great emphasis on methods that can be standardized and automated, namely spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis. The first volume provides a critical overview of current practices in clinical analysis, drawing on internationally established standards and procedures. Its main focus is on emergency and routine toxicological analysis, but it also covers forensic and drug monitoring aspects. The second volume systematically covers the 25 most important classes of toxic substances, from medical drugs to drugs of abuse, chemical toxins, plant and animal toxins, that are commonly encountered in the clinical practice. For each compound class, the full spectrum of current analysis methods is presented, including detailed protocolsfor the more demanding ones such as chromatographic and spectroscopic analysis. In each case, reference measurements and tabulated data are provided for a quick and unequivocal assignment of real-life analysis results.
