Description
Clinical Chemistry considers what happens to the body’s chemistry when affected by disease. It provides introductory coverage of the scientific basis for biochemistry tests routinely used in medicine – including tests for the assessment of organ function, diagnosis and monitoring disease activity and therapy efficacy. Each topic area begins with a concise description of the underlying physiological and biochemical principles and then applies them to patient investigation and management. The regular use of case histories helps further emphasise clinical relevance and chapter key points, as well as provide a useful starting point for examination revision.

reviewing of all proposed changes to CPT and ICD-10-CM coding structures to
determine whether the Academy will endorse the proposal; participates in
the American Medical Association/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale
Update Committee’s (RUC) survey process by validating clinical vignettes,
evaluating survey data, and deciding on physician work and practice expense
relative value units (RVUs) to recommend to the RUC; and serves as a review
panel regarding other activities such as identifying Academy positions on
the RBRVS. The COCN also monitors the Medicare RBRVS physician fee schedule
and its adoption by private and public payers.
