Summary

A comprehensive textbook covering the principles of clinical chemistry and the methods and procedures used in clinical chemistry. Topics covered include lab management and safety, pathophysiology and principles of analysis. For this new edition, the methods used in clinical chemistry are now integrated into the pathophysiology section. Totally updated with new chapters on drug abuse, transplantation, and laboratory management, and more. * Gives you essential coverage of pharmacokinetic interpretation, immunology and pathophysiology, reference range calculations, methods of comparison, and more.
