Description

In-house blood testing is regularly performed in veterinary practice. However, in order to assess the results correctly, you must have an understanding of the potential artefacts and interferences which may affect the blood test results including haematology, biochemistry and endocrine testing. It is also important to evaluate any abnormal results in light of clinical context. This webinar will cover some of the more common artefacts and interferences which may affect blood test results as well as illustrating how all results should be interpreted in light of clinical context. 

This program has been approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.
