Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry

Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach offers a clear and practical connection between biochemistry and everyday clinical practice. This edition emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge and patient care, allowing readers to understand how biochemical principles underpin the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Structured around realistic patient vignettes, each chapter presents clinical cases that illustrate the direct impact of biochemical processes on human health. Icons and full-color illustrations enhance comprehension, making complex chemical structures and pathways more accessible. Clinical, method, and biochemical notes further relate these concepts to lab tests, therapeutic options, and emerging research directions. With detailed summaries, key concepts, and comprehensive disease tables, this text ensures that critical information is highlighted for easy reference. A robust set of questions at the end of each chapter, supplemented by additional online resources, reinforces learning and helps solidify mastery of the material.
