A Useful Diagnostic Method: Blood Test

Dear Colleagues,

We are guest editing a Special Issue entitled "A Useful Diagnostic Method: Blood Test" in collaboration with Diagnostics, an open access journal published by MDPI, Switzerland.

A blood test is one of the most common tests healthcare providers use to monitor overall health or help diagnose medical conditions. Blood tests are used to measure or examine cells; biochemical, protein, cytokine, hormone, and tumor markers; and enzymes in the blood. Blood tests are also used to help diagnose certain diseases; monitor acute and chronic disease; monitor conditions such high cholesterol, glucose, thyroid hormones; and help diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders. Blood tests can identify rheumatoid diseases such as RZS, Sjogrena Syndrome, and Lupus Erythematosus. 

This Special Issue welcomes your contributions covering the current aspects of prevention, diagnosis, and management of all diseases. Submissions may include articles of current original research, experimental methodology, reviews, and perspectives. I look forward to accepting your contributions.
