---

This book deals with the clinical aspects and interpretation of test results of disorders commonly encountered by clinicians and the chemical pathology laboratory. It is structured around actual case material seen in the author's laboratory and emphasizes the selection of tests and interpretation of results. Each of the 25 chapters deals with a single analyte or a single organ system and includes case material, discussion of evaluation of the particular disorder, and interpretation of test results. The content is non-specialised enough to be followed by general practitioners but sufficiently detailed to appeal to the more specialised practitioner. It will be particularly useful to medical students who first embark on a study of this subject, the clinical biochemists at the bench, and students preparing for College examinations such as those for physicians, pathologists and surgeons.
