Notes On Clinical Biochemistry shows how the details of molecular architecture and metabolic pathways which every biochemistry student has to learn can be summarised and made applicable to a wide range of clinical problems. This is done partly by a theoretical discussion of the links between the basic biochemistry and corresponding medical scenarios, and partly by the discussion of case histories. In this way, a very wide range of medical problems is discussed economically.

This book is aimed at all those studying clinical chemistry, and medical students in the middle period of their course, that is the 2nd - 4th years. This is when the knowledge of basic sciences gained in the earlier period comes to be applied to clinical situations, and the book attempts to show, with respect to biochemistry, how this continuum is achieved.
