Clinical Chemistry

Clinical Biochemistry is the discipline of pathology (or laboratory medicine) concerned with the detection and measurement of biochemical changes in disease. Clinical chemistry laboratories carry out a range of biochemical investigations in a complex automated working environment. In addition to routine diagnostic work, personnel are also frequently involved in clinical trials, audit and research and so require a detailed knowledge of the effects of disease on biochemical measurements.
