The course deals with the following topics - biochemistry of the human organism, important metabolic and regulatory pathways and disorders of these processes, possibilities of diagnosis of these disorders and procedures of relevant laboratory tests, activities of the clinical laboratory, processing of data from methods used in clinical laboratories.
Requirements for credit: Attendance at classes is mandatory, absences must be properly excused (for serious reasons) and made up. A maximum of three exercises in total may be made up. Completion of all assignments given in the exercises. Submission of the logs of the data processing exercises. Presentation on the assigned topic.
The exam consists of a written test and covers the scope of all lectures and exercises. The overall assessment of the test corresponds to the applicable ECTS grading scale. After successful completion of the written test, an oral retest for a better grade is possible.
