  Review

  "Wow - what a makeover of this renowned textbook of clinical chemistry and molecular diagnostics…. This edition continues its excellence in clinical chemistry and its foray in the past few editions into molecular diagnostics. These chapters are incredibly dense and fact filled; many might suffice as standalone expert treatises." Reviewed by Valerie L. Ng, PhD, MD (Alameda County Medical Center/Highland Hospital) Doody's Score: 94, 4 Stars!

  "...The 6th edition of the Tietz textbook hits the mark on many different fronts. In addition to the excellent Editors, Associate Editors, Reviewers, and Contributors to the textbook that make the content extremely valuable, the transformation from the 2012 book to the 2017 platform is what is really exciting. It is clearly evident that the Editors and the Contributors have made an effort to provide the content that is useful for education in the global context..." Reviewed by: Peter Kavsak, Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University in Clinical Biochemistry, Volume 50, Issue12
