Clinical Biochemistry is a best-selling textbook, with global sales of well over 80,000. It is used across the world, and has been translated into ten languages. Over six successive editions, it has provided students with just the right amount of information they need to understand and apply clinical biochemistry in a clinical context. It is aimed fairly and squarely at those who are new to the subject, and is suitable for undergraduates across a range of courses including medicine, nursing, biomedical science, pharmacy and life sciences. Junior doctors will also find it useful. 
The seventh edition retains the same practical and patient-centred approach that has made previous editions so popular. Despite its accessibility, there is no 'dumbing-down': all essential information is covered. The illustrations, which are a major part of its visual appeal, have been revisited and updated. 
This book is an ideal source for understanding the background to biochemical tests and how they should be interpreted. It will help you apply your learning in the clinical context. The same basic structure that has proved successful previously has been retained; sections on core biochemistry, endocrinology and specialised investigations follow an introductory section. Clinical notes and case histories on help you to apply learning to clinical practice 
Covers the bulk of routine analyses and their relevance to the clinical setting 
Addresses real-world practicalities, such as how modern hospital laboratories work, and how test results should be interpreted 
Each topic presented on a richly illustrated two-page spread for easier understanding 
MCQs for each chapter 
Accompanying e-book now includes some animations 
A new chapter on the pancreas, as well as two chapters that explain how some analyses are done - methods involving antibodies, and methods that separate and identify analytes.

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.
<ul>
<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>
</ul>
<ul>
<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>
<li>Spreads on Myocardial Infarction, Cancer and Tumour Markers will all substantially revised and updated. </li>

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>
<li>Myocardial infarction</li> <li>Gastrointestinal disorders</li> <li>Osteoporosis</li> <li>Proteinuria </li> <li>The diagnosis of diabetes</li> <li>Trace metals </li> <li>Screening tests </li> <li>Paediatrics </li> </ul>
