Opis: Clinical Chemistry - Marta Lapsley, Stephen K. Bangert, William J. Marshall

This book considers what happens to the body's chemistry when affected by disease. Each chapter explains the principle involved and its application to clinical practice. In addition, there is discussion of diagnostic techniques and specific details about patient management. This book stresses how clinical chemistry relates to the practice of medicine by incorporating over 100 real patient case histories. The text is comprehensive yet succinct and is complemented by 100 full color line illustrations. Self assessment material based on clinical vignettes is provided. "It provides an accessible, informative and concise approach to this ever-expanding subject and is definitely good value for money""Joanne Carter, Annals of Clinical Biochemistry"Biochemical tests in clinical medicine.
