MEDT 360 Chemistry

This course presents fundamental aspects of clinical laboratory chemistry. These include fundamental aspects of quantitative analysis, statistical evaluation of laboratory data, qualtiy control, clinical applications of analyte measurements and chemical methods
used to measure analytes in body fluids. Integrated lectures and laboratory sessions focus on: carbohydrates, protein, lipids, enzymology,
endocrinology, cardiac markers, liver function, electrolytes, acid/base
balance, renal function, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology. A
quantitative determination of the weight or volume of a sample and
measurement of the amount of analyte in the sample is made using
