Learning outcomes
The course is designed as a theoretical-practical unit. It acquaints students with basic knowledge of biochemistry, especially metabolism of basic nutrients, amino acids and disorders of their metabolism, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleotides, enzymes. Students acquire knowledge about biological material for clinical-biochemical examination, methods and techniques of sampling, marking of samples, their storage and sending for processing to clinical-biochemical laboratories and with reference values. It introduces basic technologies for biochemical examinations.
Students obtain knowledge in given course in accordance with requirements and course programme.
Prerequisites
Preconditions are frased in the annotation of the course and in the curriculum of the studying programme.
