Book Overview

Clinical Chemistry, 9th Edition considers what happens to the body's chemistry when affected by disease. It provides introductory coverage of the scientific basis for biochemistry tests routinely used in medicine - including tests for the assessment of organ function, diagnosis and monitoring disease activity and therapy efficacy. Each topic area begins with a concise description of the underlying physiological and biochemical principles and then applies them to patient investigation and management. The regular use of case histories helps further emphasise clinical relevance and chapter key points, as well as provide a useful starting point for examination revision.

The clear and engaging writing style appreciated by generations of readers has been retained in this ninth edition, while the content has been thoroughly updated throughout. The approach and scope of this trusted text makes it ideal for integrated medical curricula, for medical training and for students and practitioners of clinical and biomedical science. The complementary eBook version, including additional cases and self-assessment material, completes this superb learning package.Updated to incorporate the latest changes in practice - including new tests and the most recent evidence-based guidance - plus a new chapter on clinical chemistry in pediatricsFigures, tables, boxes, and case studies aid understanding and learning'Light bulb' sections give practical advice and clarify difficult concepts or potential pitfallsNew 'Red flag' boxes highlight the results which should cause immediate concern to cliniciansUpdated references to core guidelines reflect latest best practiceBONUS materials on Student Consult include interactive clinical cases and MCQs - to reinforce interpretive skills, check understanding and aid exam preparationEnhanced eBook version included with purchase.

review of the book clinical chemistry by marshall

I bought this book because it is written by british authors which I think based on my experience of purchasing books are more informative than american authors. This book is a good book in clinical chemistry. Its main deficiency is that it is not comprehensive and does not include all the material experienced in the clinical chemistry lab. In general it is a good book for beginners.

A nice little reference

This is a thourough and concise reference addressing major clinical concepts. Its very colorful and easy to read, visually appealing, and far less daunting than the 2000+ page doorstops that are housed on the same shelf. Be warned, if you need a doorstop this book is not for you. This is just a major clinical concepts book with excellent diagrams and explanations. I would compare it to the BRS books, the Lange Review books, or the older NMS/Blueprints series in terms of content. If you are a fan of these types of texts then this book is for you!
