Focuses on the key concepts of clinically relevant biochemistry for medical students and other health professionals. Includes a large foldout Biochemistryland Map. Graduate students and medical students have different needs in their learning of biochemistry. Medical students often complain that their biochemistry courses do not focus on clinical relevance. This book, while not a reference book or a dissertation on all aspects of biochemistry, selects the most clinically relevant material that every clinician should know, and presents it in a way that enables the student to quickly see and understand clinical biochemistry as a conceptual whole, with a focus on the metabolic pathways and their diseases.

Clinical Biochemistry Made Ridiculously Simple PDF

I generally like material put out by the "ridiculously simple" series. This text is a dud. The material covered is very shallow. I found the writing tedious and overly simplistic. If you want a good foundation in biochem go with Lehninger's Biochemistry along with Basic Medical Biochemistry by Marks, Marks, and Smith.

I understand that this was not intended to be a detailed biochem text. However, the material here is beyond "simplistic". It is quite insufficient to appraise one with facts and or knowledge.

I found it hard to make the jump in the author's simplified analogies. I needed more basic information about lipid land. I was looking for simplified description of biochemical processes not an overly simplified generalization. I had to refer to other biochemistry and nutritional text to understand what the author was refering to. I would not recommend this in place of a good biochemistry text. When complex processes are first introduced, detailed explantions of conversion processes are needed to get the depth of understanding. The map in the back was a strong plus. It took all the body processes and joined them together to show interactions among the chemical conversions. This was the strong point for the entire book and I might have purchased the book just for that. This was a recommended text for a nutrition class, but the instructor admitted she would not have recommended this had she looked through it first.
