Book Synopsis
2014 BMA Medical Book Awards Highly Commended in Basic and Clinical Sciences category! This
fully revised edition of Clinical Biochemistry offers essential reading for today’s medical
student and all those who require a concise, practical introduction to this subject. Topics are
clearly presented in a series of double-page ‘learning units’, each covering a particular
aspect of clinical biochemistry. Four sections provide a core grounding in the subject: Introducing
clinical biochemistry gives a basic insight in to the workings of a modern hospital laboratory and
the interpretation of test results; Core biochemistry covers the bulk of routine analyses
undertaken and their relevance in a clinical setting; Endocrinology covers the thyroid, adrenal,
pituitary and gonadal function testing; Specialised investigation provides an overview of less
requested yet important analyses. Every ‘learning unit’ has been thoroughly checked and
updated to reflect the latest field developments and clinical best practice and all new material is
included on: Myocardial infarction Gastrointestinal disorders Osteoporosis Proteinuria The
diagnosis of diabetes Trace metals Screening tests Paediatrics Covers clinical biochemistry from
the point of view of the clinician using the diagnostic servicePresents topics in easily accessible
two-page spreadsIncludes mini case histories, key point boxes, flowcharts, and summary
pointsWell illustrated with four-color drawings and clinical photographsNew appendix added of
annotated web resources for students to take further many of the topics covered in the book.To
reflect the difficulties people have sometimes in analyzing hyper- and hypo-kalaemia, the existing
spread is split into two - one spread on hyperkalaemia and another on hypokalaemia. The spread
on hypertension will be revised and updated to reflect the fact that biochemistry is used as much
or more in guiding treatment as it is in screening for secondary hypertension.Spreads on
Myocardial Infarction, Cancer and Tumour Markers will all substantially revised and updated.
