MEDT 360 ChemistryThis 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 methodsused 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 gravimetric, volumetric, and electroanalytical techniques.
