Event Details...
This event includes information on the following topics:
The intended audience for this event includes:
The growing burden of chronic disease is a major health challenge in Australia. The 2004/2005 National Health Survey identified that just over 7 million people in Australia have at least one chronic condition, and that the proportion of people having a chronic disease increases with age.1 Many of these people will be referred by their general medical practitioner or specialist(s) for serological (blood) tests to assess and manage their health issues. This presentation will discuss routinely requested blood tests and their clinical significance and relevance to general dental practice. This will be a discussion of normal and abnormal results and include reference to anaemia, bleeding risk, infection risk, bone turnover, liver function, blood glucose and vitamin deficiency. The importance of involving the patient’s general medical practitioner will also be discussed.
