Clinical
Chemistry considers what happens to the body’s chemistry when affected
by disease. It provides introductory coverage of the scientific basis
for biochemistry tests routinely used in medicine - including tests for
the assessment of organ function, diagnosis and monitoring disease
activity and therapy efficacy. Each topic area begins with a concise
description of the underlying physiological and biochemical principles
and then applies them to patient investigation and management. The
regular use of case histories helps further emphasise clinical relevance
and chapter key points, as well as provide a useful starting point for
examination revision.
