Clinical Chemistry Quiz

Clinical Chemistry Overview

• The main focus of clinical chemistry is the analysis of bodily fluids to diagnose and monitor diseases.

Scientific Disciplines

• Clinical chemistry draws from multiple scientific disciplines, including biochemistry, pharmacology, and physiology.

Clinical Chemistry Tests

• Common tests performed by clinical chemists include routine tests for electrolytes, glucose, and enzymes, as well as specialty tests for hormones, toxins, and drugs.

Specimens

• The most commonly collected specimens for clinical routine tests are blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid.

Disease Diagnosis

• Clinical chemists use techniques such as chromatography, mass spectrometry, and immunoassays to identify uncommon analytes and diagnose diseases.

Chemistry Analyzers

• The main purpose of chemistry analyzers in medical laboratories is to measure the concentrations of analytes in patient specimens.

Laboratory Goals

• Clinical chemistry analyzers contribute to laboratory goals in today's healthcare climate by providing accurate, rapid, and cost-effective results.
