An accessible introduction to laboratory research. "Clinical Biochemistry" is a very popular textbook, with global sales exceeding 80,000 copies. It is used worldwide and has been translated into ten languages. All six editions provided students with just the right amount of information needed to understand and apply clinical biochemistry in a clinical context. The textbook is primarily intended for those studying the subject for the first time but is also suitable for advanced students in various specialties, including medicine, nursing, biomedical sciences, and pharmacy, and will be useful for young doctors.The seventh edition maintains the same practical and patient-oriented approach that made previous editions so popular. Despite its simplicity, the updated text is far from boring: all the most important information is covered. We have revised and updated the illustrations, to which the textbook largely owes its visual appeal.The book is an ideal resource for understanding the basics of biochemical analyses and their interpretation. It will help apply the acquired knowledge in clinical practice. We have preserved the basic structure, which has already proven its effectiveness; after the introduction, there are sections on basic biochemistry, endocrinology, and specialized research.• Clinical notes and case histories will help apply the acquired knowledge in clinical practice.• The textbook covers most standard tests and their significance in accordance with clinical conditions.• Real practical issues are discussed, such as how modern hospital laboratories work and how test results should be interpreted.• Each topic is presented on a two-page spread with numerous illustrations that facilitate understanding of the material.New in this edition:• A section on the pancreas.• Two sections explaining how some tests are performed.Table of Contents:Part 1.
