Tutorials in Clinical Chemistry is designed for trainee pathology residents, clinical chemists, medical students, and clinical laboratory scientists, in addition to those preparing for board and postgraduate examination. It is helpful to those in training as well as a teaching aid for mentors, faculty, and directors. The book is organized into 17 system-based chapters covering essential pathophysiology, biochemical investigation, and technical aspects of relevance to results interpretation. Tutorials in Clinical Chemistry is a must-have, didactic and essential knowledge as well as practical resource for learning and review.
