In order to successfully apply laboratory tests to the solution of clinical problems, a clinician needs to select tests that are appropriate to the suspected disease, collect and submit the necessary specimens, and recognize sources of variation that affect test results. The clinician must have confidence in the accuracy and precision of analytical methods used to produce results. An understanding of reference ranges and test performance in healthy and diseased animals is necessary for accurate interpretation and clinical decision making.
为了成功地将实验室检测应用于临床问题的解决，临床医生需要选择适合疑似疾病的检测方法，采集并送检必要的样本，以及识别影响检测结果的变异来源。临床医生必须对用于产生结果的分析方法的准确性和精密度有信心。了解健康和患病动物的参考范围及检测性能对于准确解读和临床决策是必要的。
