Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
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
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | 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. |
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
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.
Teaching methods
Teaching is based on lectures (total of 20 hours). It relies on the development of theoretical concepts, but also on the description of practical examples. The course involves several active teachers and experts in their field.
Evaluation methods
Written exam in the form of multiple choice questions and open questions.
Other information
Pre-requisite : Two BAC years in a medical or paramedical area. Support : Slides available on Moodle. Varia : the department of clinical biology proposes to students the possibility to perform probationary periods (1 or 2 months) in routine clinical laboratories
