      Appropriate use of test strategies requires not only an appreciation of analytic considerations and the ability of the tests to confirm or exclude the hypotheses, but also an understanding of the underlying pathophysiology and clinical features of the problems to be addressed. This discussion covers disease definition, pathophysiology, analytic considerations, and strategies for diagnosis and management.
