Henry's Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods

Good comprehensive CP text
"Henry's," as it's generally known, is an excellent all around text for clinical pathology and an ideal starting point particularly at the resident level. But its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness -- it covers essentially every component of clinical pathology, but by nature this means not every last detail can be included. Still, it does a very admirable job of consolidating so much information. As a resident, if you can buy only one CP book then I heartily recommend starting with Henry's; it contains more board level material on more CP specialties than I've found anywhere. It can also come in handy for attending pathologists, particularly those finding themselves covering a lab they may not be as familiar with.

Excellent addition to your reference library
I refer to this text quite often during my graduate studies. Henry's picks up where other lab manuals fail, with detailed explanations of the test in addition to a basic review of the condition it relates to. It's worth the purchase if you are tired of not being able to find information regarding certain diagnostic tests.

GOOD but lacks some features
This book has plenty of information about laboratory etc.. but what I didn't like is that lacks an online edition like most books.. also the information is not easy to find the back index sucks i doesn't display all the information that the book covers.. SO you need to find it through all the chapters.. But well.. i will recomend it
