MLSC 3111U – Clinical Biochemistry II

Clinical Biochemistry II builds on Clinical Biochemistry I to encourage an enhanced appreciation of the clinical and analytical aspects of biochemical diagnostic procedures related to major physiological systems, organs, and processes including homeostatic systems, endocrinology, renal, cardiac, gastric, pancreatic, and liver functions. Clinical significance and methods of analysis include special biochemistry analytes such as electrolytes and blood gases, iron studies, hormones and metabolites, cancer markers, therapeutic drugs and toxicology, and trace elements. It will provide advanced knowledge of techniques used in a clinical chemistry laboratory including electrochemistry, chromatography and mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, and immunochemistry. Automated and specialized laboratory procedures are performed along with advanced calibration techniques, and internal and external quality control evaluation.
