Contemporary Practice in Clinical Chemistry, 4th Edition, is a textbook designed to support professional decision-making and board examination study in clinical chemistry and clinical pathology. The text emphasizes practical, advanced clinical applications rather than purely theoretical research.
Coverage surveys laboratory operations, analytical methodologies, and clinical organ systems. Topics include statistical methods, quality control, mass spectrometry, point-of-care testing, and diagnostic testing for cardiovascular, metabolic, and endocrine disorders.
Intended for fellows, residents, and laboratory personnel, the volume helps new medical technologists understand the clinical utility of diagnostic tests. The 2020 edition incorporates enhanced illustrations, updated color figures, and revised end-of-chapter assessment questions.
