Study Notes
Clinical Chemistry Laboratory
- Tests in the clinical chemistry laboratory analyze for the presence or absence of biochemical substances, such as glucose, electrolytes, and enzymes, in bodily fluids like blood and urine.
Specimen Analysis
- Tests in the clinical chemistry laboratory are primarily performed on blood and urine samples.
Clinical Biochemistry Lab Function
- The function of the Clinical Biochemistry lab is to analyze biochemical specimens to diagnose and monitor various metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, and other diseases.
Biochemical Specimens
- Biochemical specimens for analysis in the Clinical Biochemistry lab include blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid.
Insulin Release Trigger
- The increase in blood glucose concentration triggers the release of insulin to bring the blood glucose level back down.
