MLT 207 - Clinical Chemistry
Designed to cover principles, analytical methods, and clinical significance of clinical chemistry as performed in the medical laboratory. The relationship of physiochemical of body function in health and disease including the renal, liver, digestive and respiratory systems. Emphasis on those clinical tests which evaluate the function of these systems related to metabolism, protein synthesis, pH, blood gases, electrolyte balance, enzymes, and hormones. Laboratory work includes the theory, operation and maintenance of the specialized and semi- and fully automated analytical instrumentation used to perform these tests. Emphasis will be placed on basic assays performed in most hospital labs, regardless of size.
