Medical Biochemistry


This is a textbook which links basic biochemistry with the day-to-day practice of medicine. You will learn basic science concepts and see them illustrated by clinical cases carefully chosen to reflect patients a young doctor is likely to encounter in a clinical setting. You will also learn about the use of laboratory tests to diagnose and monitor these conditions.
