Book, Tietz Fundamentals of Clinical Chemistry and Molecul Diagnosis 7/16[LS]

Easy to understand, the book Tietz Fundamentals of Clinical Chemistry and Molecular Diagnosis, 7th Edition, uses a laboratory perspective to provide the fundamentals you need to work in a real clinical laboratory. The book covers everything from laboratory principles to analytical and instrumentation techniques, analytes, pathophysiology and much more. Up-to-date content keeps the reader informed about the latest developments in molecular diagnostics. World-renowned and respected clinical chemistry experts Carl Burtis and David Bruns show how to select and perform diagnostic laboratory tests, as well as accurately evaluate the results obtained. • The book covers analytical and instrumentation techniques widely used in clinical chemistry, including optical techniques, electrochemistry, electrophoresis, chromatography, mass spectrometry, enzymology, immunochemical techniques, microchips, automation and bedside testing. • Learning objectives are presented at the beginning of each chapter, providing measurable results to be achieved after reading is completed. • Keywords are listed and defined at the beginning of each chapter, in addition to being highlighted in the text, making the search for definitions and main terms faster. • More than 500 easy-to-understand illustrations will help you understand and remember the most important concepts. • New chapters on molecular diagnostics include the principles of molecular biology, nucleic acid techniques and their applications, and changes to genomes and nucleic acids, thus reflecting changes in this rapidly evolving area. • New content on clinical assessment methods, kidney function testing, and diabetes has been added to this edition. • New multiple-choice review questions at the end of each chapter allow the reader to test their understanding of the content.
