Updated to take into account the latest methods of clinical analysis, this book will remain a favourite of those learning to interpret clinical chemistry results. In the book, each chapter deals with three closely related aspects of the subject - ie the background physiology, the appropriate tests and procedures, and the pathophysiology of specific disease processes. The book also contains examples taken from actual patient case-histories which add a "real-life" perspective to this text.
