Objectives of the Course Course aim is that students learn definition, aim, significans of clinical biochemistry, work-flow, laboratory safety? quality control in clinical laboratory, principles and significans of analytical procedures and how to choose them and earn the ability of performing and interpreting clinical laboratory analyses.
Contents of the Course Introduction to clinical biochemistry, Work-flow in clinical laboratory, Solutions, calculation of solution concentrations, buffer solutions, fluid-electrolyte metabolism, acid-base balance, Fluid-electrolyte metabolism (determination of Na, K, Cl, Mg) and tests for acid-base balance (blood gases), blood counts, analysis of urine, Techniques in clinical laboratory, Laboratory instruments and techniques, Proteins and tests for protein metabolism. Tests related to gastrointestinal system function, Tests for bone metabolism, Monitoring of therapeutic drug levels, Tumor markers. Clinical enzymology, Tests related to liver function, Lipids and tests for lipid metabolism. Tests for cardiac function, Nonprotein nitrogen and renal functions. Tests for urogenital system, Analyses of body fluids, Protein metabolism, clinical enzymology and tests for carbohydrate metabolism, Quality management in clinical laboratory
