Expert treatment of the theory, concepts, correlations, and application of clinical laboratory science . . . Clinical Chemistry melds the basics of laboratory medicine in chemistry, physiology, and pathology with an emphasis on the concepts of clinical chemistry, the mechanisms of diseases, and the correlation of laboratory data. The scope of the text is broad, extending traditional boundaries to include immunology and endocrinology. It includes analytes, pathophysiology, methodology, clinical correlations/lab diagnosis, and concept applications, making the content widely applicable for discussions of special populations and assessments. Chapters illustrating laboratory safety, calculations, and resources; quality assurance; automation; and spectrophotometry will help students transition to the clinical laboratory work environment. The reader-friendly design provides an inclusive discussion of the principles of procedures, as well as parallels the curriculum published by the American Society of Clinical Laboratory Scientists. A wealth of pedagogical features, including chapter outlines, end-of-chapter reviews, and concept application, make this a complete core text.

"I would highly recommend this text for anyone interested in clinical chemistry, and as a bonus, anyone needing a succinct review of the relevant chemistry, physiology and pathology. It certainly is a book I will immediately reach for whenever confronted with any clinical chemistry question!" Doody's 20030207
