This book discusses the clinical biochemistry of commonly measured analytes. It gives hard numerical data not only for the distribution and balance of analytes, but also for differential diagnosis and treatment. For each analyte distribution, balance and assessment of status, causes and consequences of abnormal values, investigation and treatment options are presented. Every chapter begins with a brief review of the physiology and biochemistry, followed by descriptions of the changes in diseases and how biochemical tests may help in their diagnosis and management. The principle behind the normal and abnormal functions of tissues and organs is explained. This book provides clear and concise coverage for medical students, junior doctors, clinical biochemists and medical technologists.

The new edition of the best-selling Lecture Notes title is aconcise introduction to clinical biochemistry that presents thefundamental science underpinning common biochemical investigationsused in clinical practice. Lecture Notes: Clinical Biochemistry allows thereader to make efficient and informed use of the diagnosticservices offered by their clinical biochemistry department. Theresult is a text that serves as a reference to the practitioner aswell as the student. The book takes a system-based approach, withthe underlying physiological rationale for any test explained inthe context of disruption by disease. This leads naturally to anintegrated and practical understanding of biochemicaldiagnostics. Including multiple choice questions (MCQs) alongsideend-of-chapter case studies to help develop test-selection skills,Lecture Notes: Clinical Biochemistry provides the essentialbackground to biochemical investigations and is an ideal coursecompanion and revision guide for medical students, junior doctorson the Foundation Programme, general practitioners, and nurses andlaboratory technicians.

Handbook of Clinical Biochemistry provides an understanding of the pathophysiological basis of diseases and gives guidelines about the use of the clinical biochemistry laboratories. It aims to bring together the physiology, biochemistry and relevant pathology for the proper use of the laboratory and to enable interpretation of results. Basic concepts are explained in simple terms and the emphasis is on comprehending the principles behind the normal and abnormal function of tissues and organs. This book deals with the clinical biochemistry of commonly measured analytes. It gives hard numerical data not only for the distribution and balance of analytes, but also for differential diagnosis and for treatment. For each analyte, it covers distribution, balance, and assessment of status, causes and consequences of abnormal values, investigation, and treatment. The book is aimed at medical students, junior doctors, clinical scientists and medical technologists.

This second edition of Medical Biochemistry is supported by more than 45 years of teaching experience, providing coverage of basic biochemical topics, including the structural, physical, and chemical properties of water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. In addition, the general aspects of thermodynamics, enzymes, bioenergetics, and metabolism are presented in straightforward and easy-to-comprehend language. This book ties these concepts into more complex aspects of biochemistry using a systems approach, dedicating chapters to the integral study of biological phenomena, including cell membrane structure and function, gene expression and regulation, protein synthesis and post-translational modifications, metabolism in specific organs and tissues, autophagy, cell receptors, signal transduction pathways, biochemical bases of endocrinology, immunity, vitamins and minerals, and hemostasis. The field of biochemistry is continuing to grow at a fast pace. This edition has been revised and expanded with all-new sections on the cell plasma membrane, the human microbiome, autophagy, noncoding, small and long RNAs, epigenetics, genetic diseases, virology and vaccines, cell signaling, and different modes of programmed cell death. The book has also been updated with full-color figures, new tables, chapter summaries, and further medical examples to improve learning and better illustrate the concepts described and their clinical significance. Integrates basic biochemistry principles with molecular biology and molecular physiology Illustrates basic biochemical concepts through medical and physiological examples Utilizes a systems approach to understanding biological phenomena Fully updated for recent studies and expanded to include clinically relevant examples and succinct chapter summaries

Clinical Biochemistry of Domestic Animals, Second Edition, Volume I, is a major revision of the first edition prompted by the marked expansion of knowledge in the clinical biochemistry of animals. In keeping with this expansion of knowledge, this edition is comprised of two volumes. Chapters on the pancreas, thyroid, and pituitary-adrenal systems have been separated and entirely rewritten. Completely new chapters on muscle metabolism, iron metabolism, blood clotting, and gastrointestinal function have been added. All the chapters of the first edition have been revised with pertinent new information, and many have been completely rewritten. This volume contains 10 chapters and opens with a discussion of carbohydrate metabolism and associated disorders. Separate chapters follow on lipid metabolism, plasma proteins, and porphyrins. Subsequent chapters deal with liver, pancreatic, and thyroid functions; the role of the pituitary and adrenal glands in health and disease; the function of calcium, inorganic phosphorus, and magnesium metabolism in health and disease; and iron metabolism.
