Taking a system-based approach, it explores the underlying physiological rationale for tests, with each test explained within the context of disruption by disease. It also explores the value and limitations of biochemical investigations, while helping readers to quickly develop the knowledge and skills required to select the appropriate investigations for diagnosis and management, and to correctly interpret test results. Case studies throughout chapters place the information within a clinical context to further assist readers in the development of test-selection and interpretation skills.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA comprehensive, yet concise overview of the science behind common biochemical investigations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps readers rapidly acquire a fully integrated, practical understanding of biochemical diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of abbreviations vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the companion website x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Requesting and interpreting tests 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Disturbances of water, sodium and potassium balance 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Acid–base balance and oxygen transport 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Renal disease 43\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Disorders of calcium, phosphate and magnesium metabolism 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemia 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Disorders of the hypothalamus and pituitary 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Abnormalities of thyroid function 105\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Disorders of the adrenal cortex and medulla 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Investigation of gonadal function infertility, menstrual irregularities and hirsutism 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Pregnancy and antenatal screening 158\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Cardiovascular disorders 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Liver disease 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Gastrointestinal tract disease 198\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Nutrition 208\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Inflammation, immunity and paraproteinaemia 224\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Malignancy and tumour markers 234\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Disorders of iron and porphyrin metabolism 241\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Uric acid, gout and purine metabolism 252\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Central nervous system and cerebrospinal fluid 259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Therapeutic drug monitoring and chemical toxicology 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Clinical biochemistry in paediatrics and the elderly 276\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 295\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407018991959,"sku":"9781119248682","price":37.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119248682.jpg?v=1730497895","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/clinical-biochemistry-9781119248682","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
