Session Purpose:

This webinar aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the unique biochemical changes in geriatric patients, the physiological alterations influencing clinical chemistry results, and the challenges faced in interpreting laboratory findings in extreme age groups. Participants will explore age-related reference range variations, common pitfalls in result interpretation, and strategies for improving diagnostic accuracy in elderly populations.

Session Objectives:

By the end of this webinar, participants should be able to:

1. Understand Age-Related Biochemical Changes

2. Interpret Laboratory Results in Extremes of Age

3. Address Challenges in Geriatric Laboratory Diagnostics

4. Enhance Diagnostic Decision-Making
