Chemical pathology is a branch of medical science that focuses on the biochemical processes within the human body and their relationship to disease. It involves the study, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases by analyzing bodily fluids such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. This field integrates principles of biochemistry, physiology, and pathology to understand how changes in normal biochemical functions lead to disease states.  

The course covers a range of topics including metabolic disorders, endocrine function, toxicology, clinical enzymology, and laboratory techniques for disease detection. Students learn how to interpret laboratory results to aid in patient diagnosis and management. Emphasis is placed on understanding biomarkers, laboratory automation, quality control, and the application of modern diagnostic technologies.  

Practical training is an essential component, providing hands-on experience with biochemical tests, spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, and immunoassays. The course also includes aspects of research methodology, data analysis, and ethical considerations in laboratory medicine. By the end of the program, students gain expertise in the biochemical basis of diseases, laboratory investigations, and their clinical significance in patient care.
