As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions. While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes. 1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes? 2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?arrow_forward10. Write short note on the given topics: 1.
