Essentials of Medical Biochemistry: With Clinical Cases, Second Edition presents a contemporary coverage of fundamentals of biochemistry while emphasizing relevant physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemical concepts. Pivotal clinical case studies aid in understanding basic science in the context of diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. The text also illuminates key topics in molecular immunology and hemostasis. These two chapters provide recent advances in autoimmune diseases and disorders of blood clotting and dissolution of clot within their context of underlying biochemical principles.

Essentials of Medical Biochemistry provides basic and fundamental concepts to aid in the lifelong learning for students and professionals in biochemistry, medicine, and other healthcare disciplines. The text is a useful refresher to meet USMLE and other professional licensing examination requirements. Thorough introductions with key points, multicolored illustrations of chemical structures & figures, fact-filled tables, and recommended reading lists for each chapters provide the reader with the most condensed yet detailed biochemistry overview available.
