Clinical Chemistry (Pb 2017) Paperback

Clinical Chemistry is a detailed textbook that covers the field of medical science also known as chemical pathology, medical biochemistry, and clinical biochemistry. It explains the biochemical processes and how tissues, organs, and molecules interact physiologically, all in the context of diseases and their diagnosis, monitoring, and management. The book also includes information on analytical techniques like immunoassay and their relevance to clinical practice. While the main focus is clinical biochemistry, some chapters incorporate aspects of hematology, radiology, and microbiology to aid in understanding disease mechanisms. Recognizing the growing role of molecular biology and genetics in disease investigation, these disciplines are also included in relevant chapters. The book primarily uses Standard International (SI) units for measurements but also provides non-SI units for tests where they are still commonly used alongside SI units.
