Clinical Biochemistry - Nessar Ahmed

. .

Résumé :
The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series has been written to reflect the challenges of practising biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed - from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science. Clinical Biochemistry provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the biochemical basis of disease processes, and how these diseases can be investigated in the biomedical laboratory. New clinical case studies have been added to the third edition, to further emphasize the link between theory and practice and help engage students with the subject....
