Many diseases have a biochemical basis, and many cause biochemical abnormalities. Clinical biochemistry (also known as chemical pathology) thus plays an important part in the diagnosis and management of many conditions. Clinical Chemistry, now in its tenth edition, covers these topics in detail.

Each chapter covers the relevant basic science, along with discussion on diagnostic techniques and patient management, combined with practical case histories and quick-reference summaries.

This book has been loved by generations of medical and biomedical science students the world over for its clear and engaging writing style and relevance to practice. It has now been fully updated throughout to reflect the latest field developments.
    • Highly relevant to clinical practice – extensive use of clinical case studies, with red flags for results of immediate concern
    • Covers the basic science of biochemistry while avoiding unnecessary detail
    • Suitable for medical students as well as students and practitioners of clinical and biomedical science - ideal for integrated and problem-based curricula

      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
