Clinical biochemistry is the area of clinical pathology that is generally concerned with analysis of bodily fluids for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Starting by acquisitions in Basic Biochemistry, in this course we will focalize on clinical correlations between structural and functional alterations and medical onset.
