"Notes on Clinical Biochemistry" is a textbook which deals with how the details of molecular architecture and metabolic pathways can be summarized and made applicable to a wide range of clinical problems. This is done partly by a theoretical discussion of the links between the basic biochemistry and corresponding medical scenarios, and partly by the discussion of case histories. Example: the common medical emergency, lactic acidosis, is discussed in terms of the way lactic acid arises in the body in the normal way by the glycolysis pathway - this allows a useful summary of the basic pathways...
