The book Clinical Chemistry Fundamentals and Laboratory Techniques was developed with the objective of providing a clear, comprehensive, and practical guide to the essential principles and analytical methods of clinical chemistry. Part 1 introduces the fundamentals of clinical chemistry, whereas Part 2 focuses on biomolecules such as carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins, which are central to metabolism and routinely measured in laboratories. While Part 3 discusses the renal system, water and electrolyte balance, acid-base homeostasis, and renal anatomy to provide a detailed understanding of the body’s regulatory mechanisms, Part 4 expands into endocrinology, inborn errors of metabolism, toxicology, chromatography, and fluid analysis, some important parts of clinical chemistry. Finally, Part 5 concludes with enzymology, tumour markers, quality control, and laboratory management, highlighting both diagnostic interpretation and the operational standards crucial for reliable laboratory performance.
