Clinical Chemistry considers what happens to the body’s chemistry when affected by disease. It provides introductory coverage of the scientific basis for biochemistry tests routinely used in medicine - including tests for the assessment of organ function, diagnosis and monitoring disease activity and therapy efficacy. Each topic area begins with a concise description of the underlying physiological and biochemical principles and then applies them to patient investigation and management. The regular use of case histories helps further emphasise clinical relevance and chapter key points, as well as provide a useful starting point for examination revision. The clear and engaging writing style appreciated by generations of readers has been retained in this ninth edition, while the content has been thoroughly updated throughout. The approach and scope of this trusted text makes it ideal for integrated medical curricula, for medical training and for students and practitioners of clinical and biomedical science. The complementary eBook version, including additional cases and self-assessment material, completes this superb learning package. Updated to incorporate the latest changes in practice – including new tests and the most recent evidence-based guidance – plus a new chapter on clinical chemistry in pediatrics. Figures, tables, boxes, and case studies aid understanding and learning. ‘Light bulb’ sections give practical advice and clarify difficult concepts or potential pitfalls. New ‘Red flag’ boxes highlight the results which should cause immediate concern to clinicians. Updated references to core guidelines reflect latest best practice.

Now fully revised and updated, Clinical Biochemistry, third edition is essential reading for specialty trainees, particularly those preparing for postgraduate examinations. It is also an invaluable current reference for all established practitioners, including both medical and scientist clinical biochemists. Building on the success of previous editions, this leading textbook primarily focuses on clinical aspects of the subject, giving detailed coverage of all conditions where clinical biochemistry is used in diagnosis and management - including nutritional disorders, diabetes, inherited metabolic disease, metabolic bone disease, renal calculi and dyslipidaemias. The acquisition and interpretation of clinical biochemical data are also discussed in detail. Expanded sections on haematology and immunology for clinical biochemists provide a thorough understanding of both laboratory and clinical aspects New chapters are included on important evolving areas such as the metabolic response to stress, forensic aspects of clinical biochemistry and data quality management An extended editorial team - including three expert new additions - ensures accuracy of information and relevance to current curricula and clinical practice A superb new accompanying electronic version provides an enhanced learning experience and rapid reference anytime, anywhere!

Conçu pour les étudiants en médecine et en pharmacie, Biochimie médicale expose les bases de biochimie métabolique nécessaires à la compréhension de la physiopathologie, puis détaille l'ensemble des explorations biochimiques. Combinant les sciences fondamentales et la clinique, l'ouvrage présente l'utilisation des examens biochimiques dans l'exploration et la prise en charge des pathologies et analyse les nombreuses situations ayant une étiologie métabolique. Une place très importante est accordée aux cas cliniques et aux démarches diagnostiques. En fin d'ouvrage, une section d'auto-évaluation permet de tester ses connaissances à travers des QCM dont les réponses, argumentées avec précision, privilégient le raisonnement physiopathologique. Au-delà de l'exposé exhaustif, ce livre donne une idée précise du rôle du biochimiste au sein de l'équipe médicale : celui d'un conseiller en matière de prescription et d'interprétation des examens. Cette version française de Biochimie médicale (5e édition anglaise) vient combler un réel manque dans ce domaine, notamment pour les étudiants en 1er et 2e cycles de médecine et pharmacie. Elle sera également profitable aux internes et aux scientifiques qui souhaitent se référer à un ouvrage de synthèse en biochimie médicale.

Clinical Chemistry considers what happens to the body’s chemistry when affected by disease. Each chapter covers the relevant basic science and effectively applies this to clinical practice. It includes discussion on diagnostic techniques and patient management and makes regular use of case histories to emphasise clinical relevance, summarise chapter key points and to provide a useful starting point for examination revision. The clear and engaging writing style appreciated by generations of readers has been retained in this new (eighth) edition, while the content has been thoroughly updated throughout. The approach and scope of this trusted text makes it ideal for integrated medical curricula for medical training and for students and practitioners of clinical and biomedical science. Additional (electronic) self-assessment material, completes this superb learning package. Bonus self-assessment materials - interactive clinical cases and two tier level MCQs (‘standard’ and ‘advanced’) New introductory chapter on basic biochemistry - including solutions, solutes, ionisation, pH, buffers, amino acids, peptides and proteins, enzyme activity, including kinetic properties, DNA structure ‘Light bulb’ sections give practical advice and clarify difficult concepts or potential pitfalls Updated references to core guidelines (UK and international) reflect latest best practice
