Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach

by Michael A. Lieberman, Allan Marks

Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach Overview

A best-selling core textbook for medical students taking medical biochemistry, Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry links biochemical concepts to physiology and pathophysiology, using hypothetical patient vignettes to illustrate core concepts. Completely updated to include full-color art, expanded clinical notes, and bulleted end-of-chapter summaries, the revised Third Edition helps medical students understand the importance of the patient and bridges the gap between biochemistry, physiology, and clinical care.

A new companion Website will offer the fully searchable online text, an interactive question bank with 250 multiple-choice questions, animations depicting key biochemical processes, self-contained summaries of patients described in the book, and a comprehensive list of disorders discussed in the text, with relevant Website links. An image bank, containing all the images in the text, will be available to faculty.

Marks' Basic Medical Biochemistry: A Clinical Approach Review

          Biochem is not the easiest subject in the world but it can be more understandable if you have a good book that can simplify complex principles and this book does that. Teaching biochemistry using the clinical approach I believe allows you to apply the principles to everyday life. The book provides vignettes at the beginning of each chapter with colorful patient in the "Waiting Room" with names like "Otto Shape" and "Ann O 'Rexia" with symptoms that will correspond with the teachings of that chapter. They have color coded icons to indicate female, male and infant/young child patients. The icons appear in the margin, identifying information related to the materials in the chapter. They have clinical notes that are typically related to the patients that explain signs or symptoms. There are also method notes that elaborate on how biochemistry is performed and interpreted in lab tests. All of these little side notes allow for a greater understanding of the materials as well as enhances your critical thinking skills. This books will definitely help you get through biochemistry.
