Welcome to our Clinical Chemistry section β the foundation of modern diagnostic testing. Clinical chemistry is a branch of laboratory medicine that uses chemical processes to measure levels of substances in body fluids, mainly blood and urine, to assess a personβs health and detect disease.
What Is Clinical Chemistry?
Clinical chemistry, also known as chemical pathology, involves the analysis of blood, urine, and other bodily fluids to diagnose, monitor, and prevent diseases. These tests play a critical role in:
-
Evaluating organ function
-
Monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes and kidney disease
-
Identifying metabolic imbalances
-
Supporting routine health screenings

π₯ Why Clinical Chemistry Matters
Clinical chemistry tests are often the first step in diagnosis and are essential in:
-
Managing chronic diseases
-
Pre-surgical assessments
-
Drug monitoring (e.g. therapeutic drug levels)
-
Detecting infections and inflammation
-
Screening for metabolic or hormonal imbalances
