Clinical Biochemistry and Metabolic Medicine
Author:Martin Crook
Edition:8th Edition
By linking biochemical processes to clinical practice, this text develops an understanding of how laboratory data informs diagnosis and patient management. It explores metabolism, organ function, and endocrine regulation while emphasizing the interpretation of test results in the context of disease, treatment, and physiological balance.
