Learning unit contents
The course is divided in 2 partims.
At partim I, students will receive informations on the core of a clinical laboratory work:
- interpretation of the résults
- preanalytical phase and automation
- quality insurance
- Lean
- analytical methods
Next, we will move to the biological explorations frequently used as diagnostic tools:
- exploration of plasma proteins
- allergy
Partim I will also integrate some elements of the hematology lab: exploration of leukemias and coagulation diseases.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of the course is the knowledge of the biochemical lesions which cause diseases, that the abnormality comes from an error of biosynthesis due to gene mutation, or that it results from an acquired disturbance of metabolic regulation. The course must thus lead the student to include/understand the biochemical mechanisms which underlie normal and pathological phenomena . The course will find its prolongation in the practical applications of biochemical diagnosis in the clinical laboratory.
