Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The new edition of this extremely successful text explores the clinical application of biochemistry. It explains what happens to the body's chemistry when affected by disease...which laboratory tests are used in various clinical situations...and how to interpret the results. Over 100 actual patient case histories demonstrate how clinical chemistry relates to the practice of medicine. More than 100 crisp line drawings-rendered in full color for the first time in this 5th Edition-make concepts easy to understand. And, self-assessment exercises based on clinical vignettes enable readers to check their comprehension of the material. Presents more than 100 real patient case histories that demonstrate the clinical applications of the content. Delivers over 100 crisp line drawings-now rendered in full color-to clarify important principles. Includes a variety of self-assessment exercises to test readers' comprehension. Incorporates more information on clinical presentation and management throughout. Provides increased discussions of the role of ancillary investigative techniques such as diagnostic imaging. Features a brand-new full-color design throughout for improved readability, and displays all of the more than 100 line drawings in full color as well. Offers new complementary content at www.flesh andbones.com.

Includes index.
