Description

The first edition of this book was published in 1983. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to account for the new knowledge gained since then, particularly in understanding the pathophysiology of many disease processes. The popular feature of using many illustrated examples from actual case notes has been retained. The essential aspects of paediatric chemical pathology, inborn errors of metabolism, reproductive endocrinology, tumours and toxicology are now also covered, to make this book truly comprehensive. A decade or so ago, chemical pathology was infrequently taught formally in medical courses, but it is now well established in the medical curriculum. In keeping with these developments the authors have produced a comprehensive textbook of diagnostic clinical chemistry to meet the needs of medical students in their clinical years, and postgraduates studying for the professional examinations of colleges of pathologists and clinical chemistry associations.
