Scientific Foundations: Biochemistry in Clinical Practice
The culmination of more than ten years of research by the authors, this book describes for the first time ever the scientific basis and clinical applications of medical biochemistry, a fundamental paradigm shift in medicine.
'Clinical Biochemistry' places the theoretical foundations of clinical biochemistry firmly in a practical environment.
Thoroughly updated and in a new two-color format, this well- respected text presents the fundamentals of biochemistry and related topics to students pursuing a one- or two-semester course in pre-med biochemistry or medical programs.
It presents scientific principles in a clinical setting, with a range of case studies integrated into the text to clearly demonstrate how knowledge should be applied to real-life situations.
Although the emphasis of this book is clinical biochemistry, some chapters include sections on haematology, radiology and microbiology where this helps in the understanding of disease processes.
This text covers both basic science and clincal aspects of the cornea and associated external diseases. In this edition the editors have incorporated relevant basic science information into the clinical...
Liver copper is always greater than 250 μg/g dry weight (reference range 50–250 μg/g dry weight). This is the most sensitive test, but it involves liver biopsy. These tests are not 100% specific for Wilson's disease.
