Résumé : Whether you are following an integrated or a more traditional medical course, you may find chemical pathology and metabolic medicine constitutes one of the more difficult subjects to grasp. What you need is a textbook that not only explains the biochemical underpinnings of metabolic medicine, but one that also integrates laboratory findings with clincal practice. Look no further...

Clinical Chemistry and Metabolic Medicine is entirely updated to reflect the new curriculum and the changes in our understanding of clinical biochemistry. The text is revised by an author with years of teaching experience who has carefully retained the strengh of Zilva and Pannall's classic textbook - readability, a firm basis in the underlying science, and a clear focus on clinical relevance.

The seventh edition of Clinical Chemistry and Metabolic Medicine re-establishes the title as the premier textbook in the field, and is essential reading for all medical students through to postgraduate trainees in medicine and candidates for the MRCP and MRCPath. General practitioners and hospital doctors may also find this text helpful in the diagnosis and management of patients with metabolic disorders.
