Description

Product Description Fighting the Opioid Epidemic: The Role of Providers and the Clinical Laboratory in Understanding Who Is Vulnerable covers the important aspects that are essential in fighting the opioid epidemic. This succinct reference highlights how the toxicology laboratory can play a vital role in fighting the opioid epidemic by implementing a robust system for drugs of abuse testing as well as drug testing in pain management patients. It targets health care professionals in a technical manner, discussing polymorphisms of important genes that may be associated with increased vulnerability of alcohol and drug addiction to an individual. Review "This is a very nice, comprehensive book on the opioid epidemic. It should be a required bookshelf addition to any clinical laboratory performing drug testing." --Doody Doody Review Covers pharmacology, toxicology, pharmacogenomics related to opioid metabolism, genetic and environmental factors associated with vulnerability to opioid addiction, and more About the Author Dr. Amitava Dasgupta received his Ph.D degree in Chemistry from Stanford University and received his medical training in Toxicology and Clinical Chemistry from the Laboratory Medicine Department of the University of Washington School Of Medicine at Seattle.
