CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY: CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES

CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY: CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES

By Dr. Riju Mathew

Clinical biochemistry is a vital discipline that bridges the gap between laboratory science and the practice of medicine. It plays a pivotal role in understanding the biochemical basis of disease, diagnosing disorders, and monitoring therapeutic responses. In recent decades, the rapid advancements in analytical technologies, molecular diagnostics, and clinical research have significantly expanded the scope and importance of clinical biochemistry in modern healthcare.

This book, Clinical Biochemistry: Concepts and Techniques, is e signed to serve as a comprehensive resource for students, educators, and professionals seeking a strong foundation in this evolving field. The primary objective of this book is to provide a clear and systematic understanding of the fundamental principles of clinical biochemistry, along with the techniques commonly used in diagnostic laboratories. The text integrates theoretical concepts with practical applications, emphasizing how biochemical parameters are measured, interpreted, and related to physiological and pathological conditions. Each chapter aims to highlight the relevance of biochemical tests in clinical settings, encouraging a diagnostic mindset and critical thinking. The book begins with an overview of basic biochemical concepts, including the structure and function of biomolecules, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic pathways, all within a clinical context. It then explores key areas of clinical biochemistry such as carbohydrate metabolism, liver and kidney function tests, lipid profile analysis, electrolytes and acid-base balance, endocrine function, and markers of organ dysfunction. Each of these topics is presented with clinical relevance in mind, using case studies, normal and abnormal ranges, and diagnostic indicators.
