MLSCI 263 - Clinical Biochemistry

3 units (fi 6)(SECOND, 3-0-3)

Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry

This course considers how the analysis of samples from the body for various constituents can give insight into pathological processes. Included are the principles for tests routinely carried out in a clinical biochemistry laboratory, and the biological understanding of test results. Specific subjects considered are clinical enzymology, heme catabolism, liver function toxicology and therapeutic drug monitoring principles of immunoassays, blood lipids porphyrins, endocrinology, gastric and GI function, fetal-placental function, and biochemical tumor markers. Prerequisite: MLSCI 262. Restricted to Medical Laboratory Science students.
