Description:
Organized almost entirely around organ systems, this ground-breaking text teaches the concepts and principles of clinical chemistry through realistic situations and scenarios. The authors developed this practical approach to encourage students to apply theoretical principles in the laboratory and to develop practical, critical-thinking skills.
