About this title

Synopsis

Explore the science of basal metabolism and how it's measured and interpreted in clinical practice. A practical, reference-style guide for physicians, students, and lab technicians.

This book presents the foundational methods and standards for studying metabolism, including open and closed circuit apparatus and gas analysis. It explains how normal standards are established, how tests are prepared, and how results are calculated to inform diagnosis and treatment.

• Clear explanations of open and closed circuit techniques and the main metabolism apparatus.
• Guidance on preparing patients and calculating basal metabolic rates.
• Connections between metabolism tests and clinical applications across endocrine and systemic conditions.
• Historical and practical context for interpreting metabolic data in difficult cases.

Ideal for readers of medical metabolism, endocrinology, and laboratory methods who seek a durable reference for both theory and practice.
