Description
"Medical Biochemistry" combines basic science and practical medicine in a concise format that is ideal for the future doctor. In the second edition, clinical medicine is even more integrated in the text as well as in the case study boxes, and a new 'clinical tests' feature will be a quick reference to the most common laboratory tests. The new edition retains the dynamic full colour design of the first edition incorporating case histories, advanced concept boxes and clear colour pictures which explain the more complex biochemical concepts. There are three new chapters on ageing, nutrition and oxygen and life, bringing the book up to date in these important areas of development. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and contain the latest information on genetics and molecular biology. Summary boxes and an expanded self-assessment section make the book even more useful for revision.
