Essential reading for candidates for the MRCPath examination and
similar postgraduate examinations in clinical biochemistry. The book
gives an overview of the acquisition of data, as well as concentrating
on clinical aspects of the subject, giving detailed coverage of all
conditions where clinical biochemistry is used in diagnosis and
management. In common with other diagnostic specialties clinical
biochemistry now uses an increasing number of techniques involving the
'new biology': these are covered in this book. It is also increasingly
common for medically qualified clinical biochemists to become involved
in the clinical management of patients (eg nutritional support) and
material on this will be included. * From the author of the popular
_Clinical Chemistry_ medical student textbook.
* Although there are many competing texts on clinical chemistry, the
vast majority concentrate on the technology; this book concentrates on
the clinical.
* Ideally suited for preparation for the MRCPath and similar
examination.
* Significant changes to content to reflect changes in how clinical
chemistry services are organised and to reflect the advent of
metabolic medicine as a recognised specialty.
* Chapter on Clinical biochemistry of nutrition to include new
information on regulation of appetite and the clinical management of
obesity.
* New chapter to bring together information on inborn errors of
metabolism affecting adults.
* New chapter on clinical biochemistry of cardiovascular disease.
* The diabetes chapter has been split into two separate chapters to
allow more detailed description of the practical clinical management
of the disease.
