CLINICAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY
The course objective is to acquire knowledge about the chemical-clinical analysis methods and be able to select the method best suited to solving a given analytical and clinical problem in critically evaluating the analytical data obtained
Sampling process, preparation, and error-related processing. Laboratory automation. Definition of normality field and meaning, clinical sensitivity and specificity (false positives, false negatives), criteria for validation of analytical methods, quality control in clinical chemistry and implementation of laboratory methods. Analysis in biological matrix and therapeutic drug monitoring (principles, procedures, and analysis). Examples of analytical applications in clinical field.

- lesson notes
The teaching will be divided into lectures using transparencies and Power Point, and exercises in the classroom during class time. During the course we will be provided Power Point containing the images used during the lessons in the classroom.
The assessment will be implemented by an oral examination.
The textbooks are recommended, the student is not required to purchase them all, but the topics are given extensive treatment in the headlines. Attendance at lectures is mandatory. The teacher is available for further information on the topics covered in class.
