NACB: Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines (LMPG)

Since 1994, NACB has developed consensus-based guidelines for the laboratory evaluation and monitoring of patients with specified disorders.  After a series of public presentations and reviews designed to reach consensus among the experts, the guidelines are published online.

Several LMPGs have been translated into other languages, which include French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, and Spanish.  NACB welcomes collaboration with colleagues in other countries.  For copyright and translation information, please contact Betsy Garman.

NACB’s guidelines are available online for free; print versions are available for purchase through AACC Press.
