Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to explain teoretical principles of biochemistry, clinical biochemistry and regulatory mechanisms of basic metabolic pathways. This knowledge is essential for interpretation of physiological and pathological events in human organism. Students are also trained in laboratory classes to master simple biochemical analyses and to interpret the results of laboratory tests in differential diagnostics and therapy.
The student who passes the subject will be equipped with theoretical knowledge on basic biochemical pathways and information on regulation of intermediary metabolism. Student will be able to interpret physiological and pathological events in human prganism. In practice, students will be able to work according to good laboratory practice rules and to perform basic biochemical tests and to interpret laboratory results in a procedure of differential diagnosis and therapy. By acquiring all above mentioned skills the student will be able to utilize them in specialized fields of internal medicine that will follow.
