| Language : | French language |
|
| Course contents : | The first part of the course is devoted to preanalytical phase, analytical techniques and instrumentation, quality control and results interpretation. The second part deals with the main classes of biochemical blood components (inorganic elements, small organic molecules, macromolecules, enzymes,...), determined in the clinical laboratory, as well as with the exploration of the various functions of the body (renal function , liver, thyroid, ...). The importance given to the various chapters is modulated according to the matter of human and pathological Biochemistry seen previously. |
|
| Course objective : | To give information on the biochemical compounds determined in the biological fluids by the clinical laboratories, on their interest in human pathology and on the analytical techniques used for measuring their concentrations. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Human biochemistry, general principles of pathological biochemistry, elements of analytical chemistry. |
|
| Workshops : | Without object. |
|
| Organization : | Weekly schedule: 2h per week in the 2nd four-month period. Material used : power-point presentation. |
|
| Written notes : | Copies of the projected boards and notes of course distributed to the students
