This review is from: Tietz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry, Third Edition (Hardcover)

If you are a clinical chemist or medical technologist, this is the bible. Dont look for much fluff here, just the hard hitting facts. If you want a simpler overview of clinical chemistry,go elsewhere. However, if you want the complete reference, it is here.

We have this book in our clinical chemistry department and refer to it constantly, it is comprehensive and contains all of the data and explanation needed for the scientist on the bench the clinician looking up the biochemal basis of a disorder, and the pathologist making a descision on clinical data.
