About Clinical Biochemistry

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

This page sits in the Clinical and Applied Biochemistry strand of Biochemistry. It brings together material on how blood, organs and enzymes are measured and interpreted in the clinic. Most resources are written at university level, with a small share aimed at professionals.

Where to start

Begin with the mind map Plasma Proteins function. It sets out albumin, globulins, caeruplasmin and transferrin and what each one binds or carries. Then try the quiz Mammalian Biochemistry Class Test Prep, which asks what blood does, what plasma contains and how much water it holds.

Next, move to the Clinical Chemistry mind map. It covers metabolic levels, tissue damage and how enzyme levels are measured, including the hexokinase reaction for glucose.

Organ and disease topics

  • Enzymes and tumour markers flashcards ask about markers of cholestasis, where AST is found and the sources and causes of raised ALP.
  • Kidney function tests and urinalysis covers glomerular filtration, aldosterone and ADH, and tests of filtration.
  • Pathology- Biochemistry 2 looks at calcitonin, hypercalcaemia and ECG changes.
  • The quiz In-born Errors in Metabolism starts from gout and uricase.
  • Liver topics appear in several decks, maps and quizzes, plus the flowcharts on Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first to see how the ideas connect. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note what you missed. Return to the matching flashcard deck, such as Biochemical Composition of Blood and Blood Clotting, and repeat until the answers come easily.

Teachers can use the maps as ready-made starting points for a session and the quizzes for a quick check in class.

Next step

Choose one topic from the list, open its map and see how much you can recall. Then make a few flashcards of your own for whatever felt unfamiliar.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the mind map Plasma Proteins function. It is a short overview of albumin, globulins, caeruplasmin and transferrin and what they bind or transfer. After that, the quiz Mammalian Biochemistry Class Test Prep lets you check what you remember about blood and plasma.

What do the mind maps on this page cover?

They cover plasma proteins, clinical chemistry and enzyme measurement, renal function tests and nitrogen metabolism, liver function tests, inborn errors of metabolism, porphyrias, coagulation and urea cycle disorder. There are over 30 maps, so you can pick the topic closest to your course.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it is worth comparing them with your own course notes.

Who are these resources suited to?

Most are at university level, so they suit university students revising clinical biochemistry or filling gaps. Teachers can also use the maps, quizzes and flashcard decks as ready-made material. A small share is aimed at professionals.

Are there flashcards on specific organs?

Yes. There are decks on kidney function tests and urinalysis, renal biochemistry, liver disease, metabolic functions of the liver, haemostasis and human serum albumin. With over 50 decks in total, you can match a deck to the topic you are studying.

What if I cannot find my topic?

Try the related maps and decks first, since topics overlap. For example, enzymes appear in several maps and decks. A free account lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes to fill any gap.
