This is an excellent book to use as an introduction to clinical chemistry. The chapter layout is logical and the content finds an appropriate balance keeping things concise but with enough depth for most student MTs and generalists. Specialist lab personnel and student MTs with clinical chemistry as a career interest would probably find the Tietz Fundamentals (not the Tietz Textbook-that's overkill) to be a better investment though as it covers topics at greater depth.

This book was very unhelpful to me. It was much more involved then I needed it to be. Like one other review said, it takes so long to figure out what the heck they are talking about.. It's not in plain enlgish. Its more for people who ACED chem 1 and 2. You have to really understand the concepts to get anything out of it. For techs just learning, I believe it needs to explain the simple concepts more before going into great detail. I would not recommend this book if you really use your books to study like I do, it didn't help. Like another reviewer said, google is more helpful and I agree!

Well this book is not the most amazing book ever, i would not recommend it to anyone else. I would say this book is better than its newer version which is 6th edition which has no glossary, what kind of book does not have a glossary? They at least need to proof read the book before publishing.

I recieved the book in record time while in Iraq. It provided me a well need refresher in organic chemistry.

Great price for the book, the book came within the week, and was packaged properly with minimal damage. Will definitely do business with again

This book does have a few typos. It really could be formatted a lot better. My instructor does a great job of pulling out the important information otherwise this book would not help me at all. Some of the tables and graphs are good except for the typos on some of them. I would look elsewhere for a better book.

Dont bother buying this book. save your time and money. it takes hours just to read one page. if you have to look up key words forget about it google is better than this book. Google is much quicker. save time and money because this book sucks. You should buy Tietz clincal chemistry book its the best simple format easy to look up information.

Im gunna burn my book its horrible
:) if you wanna buy mine ill can still sell you the ashes!!

This book gives a quick overview of the different analytes and tests that can be done in a clinical chemistry lab. If you want something more in depth i recomend Teitz

i'm happy with the service, i recieved the book on on time, but the book it self is awfully odd. it has some errors.

A great textbook for learning clinical chemistry. Text is very easy to understand and parallels some of the materials for the test manufacturers. The index could be improved slightly, but is still user-friendly.
