Summary: Clinical chemistry considers what happens to the body's chemistry when affected by disease. Each chapter looks at the relevant basic science and its application to clinical practice. In addition there is discussion of diagnostic techniques and specific details about patient management. This book stresses how clinical chemistry relates to the practice of medicine by incorporating approximately one hundred patient case histories."--Jacket
