This text offers material on the theory, concepts, correlations and procedural principles of clinical chemistry. Using a problem-solving approach, it provides in-depth correlations of pathophysiology with the corresponding laboratory findings. Extensive use of tables and figures provides a more visual presentation and quick retrieval of information. The authors emphasize problem-solving skills through in-depth correlation of pathophysiology and laboratory findings, and examine current assessments in clinical chemistry such as in exercise, psychiatric disorders, pregnancy, neonatal and pediatric, and ageing disorders. A uniform chapter layout, including outlines and summaries aids in student learning and instructor presentation, and the reader is directed to important concepts through learning objectives located in each chapter.
