Many diseases have a biochemical basis, and many cause biochemical abnormalities. Clinical biochemistry (also known as chemical pathology) thus plays an important part in the diagnosis and management of many conditions. Clinical Chemistry, now in its tenth edition, covers these topics in detail.
Each chapter covers the relevant basic science, along with discussion on diagnostic techniques and patient management, combined with practical case histories and quick-reference summaries.
This book has been loved by generations of medical and biomedical science students the world over for its clear and engaging writing style and relevance to practice. It has now been fully updated throughout to reflect the latest field developments.
