Clinical biochemistry explores the chemical composition of body fluids to aid in diagnosis and treatment. This book covers the principles and techniques used to analyze blood, urine, and other specimens for metabolic and pathological markers. Topics include liver and kidney function tests, lipid profiles, electrolyte balance, and endocrine assessments. Quality control, calibration, and result interpretation are also emphasized. It provides a clear understanding of biochemical diagnostics used in routine and emergency settings. Ideal for laboratory technicians and paramedical students, it bridges theory with clinical application.
