Clinical Chemistry, 9th Edition, is a textbook that examines how disease alters body chemistry and introduces the scientific principles behind routine medical biochemistry tests. It details how laboratory investigations assist clinicians in evaluating organ function, diagnosing disorders, and monitoring disease activity and therapeutic response.
The text explores physiological mechanisms and metabolic pathways across major organ systems, addressing fluid balance, acid-base regulation, and endocrine disorders. Practical case histories appear throughout chapters to highlight clinical relevance and assist with examination revision.
Designed for integrated medical curricula and professional training, this volume serves medical students, trainee clinical scientists, and students and practitioners of biomedical science.
