Clinical Biochemistry

Modern medicine is dependent on laboratory investigation of disease in order to confirm diagnosis, monitor treatment, and for screening and prognostic purposes. Clinical Biochemistry
has been written with this in mind and is concerned with the biochemical basis of disease processes and their laboratory investigation.
This textbook should meet the needs of students studying modules in clinical biochemistry on BSc and MSc programmes in biomedical science or biochemistry. The topics covered are
suitable for graduates entering the hospital clinical biochemistry service as trainee biomedical or clinical scientists. The book will be of value to practising biomedical scientists preparing
for professional diploma examinations that lead to Fellowship of the Institute of Biomedical Science (FIBMS). It will also provide useful initial reading for clinical scientists and medical
graduates studying towards postgraduate examinations in chemical pathology such as that leading to Fellowship of the Royal College of Pathologists (FRCPath)
