Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine

Autor Martin Crook
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2012
Whether you are following a problem-based, an integrated, or a more traditional medical course, clinical biochemistry is often viewed as one of the more challenging subjects to grasp. What you need is a single resource that not only explains the biochemical underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but also integrates laboratory findings with clinical practice. You will find all this, and more, in the eighth edition of Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine.

This well-respected text provides comprehensive and measured guidance to this complex area, reflecting the ongoing changes in our understanding of clinical biochemistry while preserving the acknowledged strengths of previous editions: readability, a firm basis in the underlying science, and a clear focus on clinical applicability.

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.
