Synopsis

Updated to take into account the latest methods of clinical analysis, this book will remain a favourite of those learning to interpret clinical chemistry results. In the book, each chapter deals with three closely related aspects of the subject - ie the background physiology, the appropriate tests and procedures, and the pathophysiology of specific disease processes. The book also contains examples taken from actual patient case-histories which add a "real-life" perspective to this text.

About this title

Review

"...should prove of great value to teachers and students in this field...strongly recommended." Medica Journal of Australia on the First Edition "...will no doubt prove just as popular with students of clinical chemistry as its predecessor." Clinical Biochemist on the Second Edition

From the Back Cover

The third edition of this popular and successful text has been fully revised and updated to take account of recent advances in the field, particularly in the physiology and pathophysiology of many disease processes. The text retains the original format of relevant physiology, test selection and test interpretation by case example. Essential aspects of paediatric chemical pathology, inborn errors of metabolism, reproductive endocrinology, tumours and toxicology are now included. As chemical pathology is receiving specific attention in medical courses, this text has been adapted to present this information in an understandable form, making it suitable for medical undergraduates and for medical and science postgraduates studying for exams of Colleges of Pathology and professional associations.
