Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book makes the concepts of the biochemistry and physiology of energy and acid-base metabolism relevant to clinical medicine in a novel and effective way. It uses more than 50 clinical cases, with data such a those seen in the hospital setting, to introduce each concept, and to provide the basis for discussion of the needed biochemistry and physiology. Questions and commentary drawn from human and veterinary medicine provide a broad scope for understanding the concepts presented; details of metabolism are presented only when they are necessary to an understanding of clinical medicine.

Table of Contents
