This edition covers all aspects of the subject needed by medical students. It is a volume in the Illustrated Colour Text series, with the subject matter divided into double-page spreads; this makes the information very accessible to the reader. Full use is made of flow charts and other graphics; clinical "boxes;" summary points; case histories; and clinical photographs. The whole orientation of the book is to concentrate on how clinical biochemistry relates to the care of the patient and to ensure that the medical student understands how to interpret laboratory.

<li>Covers clinical biochemistry from the point of view of the clinician using the diagnostic service</li>
<li>Presents topics in easily accessible two-page spreads</li>
<li>Includes mini case histories, key point boxes, flowcharts, and summary points</li>
<li>Well illustrated with four-color drawings and clinical photographs</li>

<li>New appendix added of annotated web resources for students to take further many of the topics covered in the book.</li>
<li>To reflect the difficulties people have sometimes in analyzing hyper- and hypo-kalaemia, the existing spread is split into two - one spread on hyperkalaemia and another on hypokalaemia. </li>
<li>The spread on hypertension will be revised and updated to reflect the fact that biochemistry is used as much or more in guiding treatment as it is in screening for secondary hypertension.</li>

The 3rd Edition of this popular volume in the Illustrated Colour Text series uses a practical, clinical approach to focus on exactly what practitioners need to know to understand, order and interpret laboratory results. All aspects of biochemistry relevant to patient care are covered. Each topic appears on its own two-page spread to make the information easy-to-understand. Flowcharts, boxes, summary points, case histories, and a wealth of illustrations facilitate comprehension and bring the subject to life. Completely updated and revised throughout, it encompasses our understanding of all of the latest developments in the field and their implications for patient care.

2014 BMA Medical Book Awards Highly Commended in Basic and Clinical Sciences category! This fully revised edition of Clinical Biochemistry offers essential reading for today’s medical student and all those who require a concise, practical introduction to this subject. Topics are clearly presented in a series of double-page ‘learning units’, each covering a particular aspect of clinical biochemistry. Four sections provide a core grounding in the subject: <ul>
<li>Introducing clinical biochemistry gives a basic insight in to the workings of a modern hospital laboratory and the interpretation of test results;</li> <li>Core biochemistry covers the bulk of routine analyses undertaken and their relevance in a clinical setting;</li> <li>Endocrinology covers the thyroid, adrenal, pituitary and gonadal function testing;</li> <li>Specialised investigation provides an overview of less requested yet important analyses.</li> </ul>
Every ‘learning unit’ has been thoroughly checked and updated to reflect the latest field developments and clinical best practice and all new material is included on: <ul>
