fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
Course objectives
After this course the participant should be able to: - choose biochemical tests suitable for diagnostics of diseases - know the basic problems of common biochemical diagnostic tests - know how to collect biological material and how to treat it to prevent false results - to assess reliability of laboratory results.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
purposefully indicate laboratory biochemical tests
correctly interpret laboratory results
evaluate laboratory tests with regard to their sensitivity and specificity
use knowledge of the uncertainty of the evaluated parameter
to focus on possible pre-analytical influences and interferences
Syllabus
  • Analytical sources of variation, accuracy and precision. Diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency of diagnostic tests. Reference ranges, decision values. Collection and processing of specimens, special requirements, general safety rules.
  • Assessment and monitoring of nutritional status. Blood plasma proteins. Acute-phase reactants. Principles of nutritional support, enteral and parenteral nutrition. Dietary constituents providing a sufficient energy intake.
  • Energy output, nitrogen balance. Indications for nutritional support. Oxygen, transport and metabolism, tissue hypoxia.
  • Disorders of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.
  • Ischemic heart disease, congestive cardiac failure. Potassium and magnesium homeostasis.
  • Iron and essential microelements metabolism.
  • Disturbances of water and sodium balance. Plasma and urine osmolality. Plasma electrolytes in acid-base disorders.
  • Assessment of acid-base balance. Investigating an acid-base status, indications for blood acid-base and oxygen measurements, interpretation of results.
  • Laboratory evaluation of kidney function. Biochemical monitoring of acute and chronic renal failure, and of patients receiving haemodialysis. Urine sediment.
  • Investigation of liver and biliary tract diseases. Signs of the liver injury, differentiating of hyperbilirubinaemias, syndrome of biliary obstruction.
  • Clinical biochemistry of the GIT. Gastric acid secretion, maldigestion and malabsorption, assessment of pancreatic function.
  • Disorders of saccharide metabolism, diabetes mellitus.
  • Calcium and phosphate metabolism. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism (in the assessment of osteoporosis).
  • Uric acid, hyperuricaemia. Renal tract stones.
  • Laboratory assessment of thyroid and adrenal functions.
  • Tumour markers. Biological causes of variation of test results, effects of drugs on chemical tests.
