Description
This volume, the fifth edition of a popular volume in the "Lecture Notes" series, describes the use of biochemical tests in the diagnosis, treatment and management of disease. Although descriptions are concise, the reasons for abnormal results are explained, and emphasis is laid on the proper selection of tests and interpretation of results. The book should enable clinical medical students and junior doctors to make efficient and responsible use of the services offered by clinical biochemistry departments. Case histories, a revision chapter and a chapter on molecular biology have been included for the first time in this edition, which has been revised and updated throughout.
