Clinical Chemistry
Clinical Chemistry is a branch of laboratory medicine that focuses on analyzing bodily fluids, primarily blood and urine, to diagnose and monitor diseases. It involves measuring various substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and electrolytes, to assess organ function and metabolic processes.
The results from clinical chemistry tests help healthcare providers make informed decisions about patient care. These tests can indicate conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disorders, allowing for timely interventions and treatment adjustments based on the patient's specific needs.
