Synopsis

This book has been written primarily for medical students and junior doctors in clinical practice, but would also be a useful reference for postgraduate students in chemical pathology (clinical biochemistry), laboratory scientists, pathologists and medical laboratory technologists. It covers the field of chemical pathology, the biochemical basis of disease, and provides a basic understanding of the relationship between abnormal biochemical test results and disease states. A rational approach to proper selection and interpretation of biochemical investigations is adopted for each organ system or analyte covered in the 28 chapters. Emphasis is placed on areas and problems most commonly met with in clinical practice. Meant primarily as an introductory study book to the subject rather than as a reference text, the materials have been presented in a clear, condensed format to aid the study process. The written text is amply supplemented with relevant illustrations.

About this title

Review

"... the strength of this book is its overall clarity and comprehensiveness. It fills a gap between the basic undergraduate text and a reference book. It will be valuable to the undergraduate student with an interest in the subject and will provide a thorough grounding in chemical pathology for the postgraduate students..." -- G Bayly, The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists, 1996
