Main themes Introduction to biological matrices, preanalytical requirements, stability, analytical performances Serum proteins Kidney function Pancreatic function (exo and endo) Liver function Anemia Cardiovascular risks Thyroid
Aims Provide the student, at the end of the 1st cycle (BAC13), the abilities to interpret clinical chemistry laboratory tests (diagnostic, follow up, prevention,…). Together with other lectures in the field of human pathologies (microbiology, pathology,…) this lecture should meet the recommendation from CEE regarding pharmaceutical missions: reinforce the role of the pharmacist as health councillor.
Content Major biological systems are reviewed together with a short pathophysiological reminder. The lecture starts with the major preanalytical requirements and analytical performances (sensitivity specificity, reproducibility,…). Serum protein and inflammatory responses, renal function, pancreatic function (endocrine and exocrine), liver function (cholestasis, cytolysis,…), anemia, lipids and cardiovascular markers, thyroid function are reviewed in different chapters.
Other information Pre-requisite : Two BAC years in a medical or paramedical area Evaluation : written exam : both development and short questions or MCQ Support : Slides and notes on I-campus varia : the department of clinical biology proposes to students the possibility to perform probationary periods (1 or 2 months) in routine clinical laboratories
