Chemical pathology is a branch of pathology that focuses on the biochemical basis of disease. As a course, it provides an in-depth understanding of how various chemical and molecular processes in the body are altered in different disease states. Students learn about the principles and techniques used to analyze blood, urine, and other body fluids to detect abnormalities in electrolytes, enzymes, hormones, lipids, proteins, and metabolic products. The course emphasizes the interpretation of laboratory results, quality control in testing, and the clinical relevance of biochemical markers in diagnosing, monitoring, and managing diseases. It bridges clinical medicine and laboratory science, preparing students to understand the pathophysiology of diseases such as diabetes, renal failure, liver disorders, and inherited metabolic conditions. By integrating theory with practical laboratory skills, chemical pathology equips students with the knowledge to contribute to patient care through accurate biochemical analysis and evidence-based interpretation.
