This book covers all the clinical biochemistry needed by undergraduate medical students. It is an Illustrated Colour Text with the subject matter divided into double-page spreads; this makes the information very accessible to the reader. 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 results. By contrast, the reader is not overburdened by descriptions of laboratory techniques. Spanish version also available, ISBN: 84-8174-523-5

<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>

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.

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>
