The book “Mind Maps in Clinical Chemistry- Part 2“ intends to provide the information that is required by junior doctors to suggest, arrange and interpret clinical chemistry tests effectively to enhance clinical care.
This book treats clinical chemistry as an interdisciplinary subject to teach the importance of lab both for students in basic science as well as clinical medicine. The approach to clinical chemistry in real clinical situations requires knowledge, experience and an integrated and clinically relevant model. I have attempted to bring this integrated model together in the book.
The book has been written in a lucid manner and is packed with practical approach of lab tests targeting undergraduate and also 1st postgraduate students of various streams of medicine. The reader should gain the knowledge and understanding of the value, limitations and interpretation of lab tests in modern medicine.
Chapters of this part cover a range of topics focused on biochemical analysis including tumor detection, special topics in clinical biochemistry, the clinical chemistry of diseases, lab instrumentation and reference ranges of diseases.
