Requesting laboratory tests and interpreting the results Water and sodium The kidneys Acid-base disturbances Potassium Calcium, phosphate and magnesium The hypothalamus and pituitary gland The adrenal cortex The reproductive system Pregnancy and infertility Thyroid function Carbohydrate metabolism Plasma lipids and lipoproteins Nutrition Vitamins, trace elements and metals The gastrointestinal tract Liver disorders and gallstones Plasma enzymes in diagnosis (clinical enzymology) Proteins in plasma and urine Purine and urate metabolism Disorders of haem metabolism : iron and the porphyrias Cardiovascular disease Cerebrospinal and pleural fluid Metabolic effects of tumours Therapeutic drug monitoring and poisoning Clinical biochemistry at the extremes of age Inborn errors of metabolism Genetics and DNA-based technology in clinical biochemistry Patient sample collection and use of the laboratory Point of care testing
Summary: Whether you are following an integrated or a more traditional medical course, you may find chemical pathology and metabolic medicine constitutes one of the more difficult subjects to grasp. What you need is a textbook that not only explains the biochemical underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but one that also integrates laboratory findings with clinical practice. Look no further..
