Descriere
Clinical biochemistry is one of the more challenging subjects to grasp, and students need a single resource that not only explains the biochemical underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but also integrates laboratory findings with clinical practice. This eighth edition of an esteemed volume is clinically oriented with case histories demonstrating application of results. Coverage includes both common and less common diseases and syndromes. The book is highly illustrated with clear full-colour line diagrams and clinical photographs. A companion website includes self-assessment questions and an image library.
