Clinical Chemistry

Learn how clinical chemists identify and quantify a variety of analytes in blood and bodily fluids using various analytical chemistry techniques.

This course explores the basic principles, procedures, physiological basis, instrumentation, and significance of testing performed in clinical chemistry.

The emphasis is on analytical techniques used to assess analytes ranging from electrolytes, proteins, carbohydrates, hormones, hemoglobin, and serum enzymes, as well as the correlation of test results with diseases and disorders.

Statistical techniques, therapeutic drug monitoring, molecular diagnostics, and reference values are also covered.
