Features: The development of laboratory medicine, especially the widespread application of fully automatic biochemical analyzers, enables hospital clinical laboratories to provide accurate and reliable test results covering a broad range of areas, including routine biochemistry, tumor markers, hormones, special proteins, drugs, and toxins, within a relatively short period of time. This book aims to enhance the ability of clinical and laboratory medicine professionals to interpret test results correctly and reasonably. The book is divided into fifteen chapters, with the first fourteen chapters providing a concise review of the pathological biochemistry of metabolic disorders in clinical biochemical substances and the dysfunction of organs and the progression of diseases. It summarizes the laboratory biochemical analysis steps under disease conditions in a simple and clear format using diagrams and tables, lists corresponding typical case studies, and discusses the interpretation, evaluation, further tests to be performed, treatment methods, and final diagnoses. Chapter eleven introduces comprehensive case analysis as well as various evaluation opinions and corresponding quality score evaluations. The final appendix provides an English-Chinese glossary of abbreviations.
