Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Pathological Chemistry Including Description of the Chemical Methods, Employed in Medical Diagnosis The individual chapters of this volume are reprinted from the Post-Graduate, in which they have appeared at intervals during the past year. They have been designed primarily as a guide for the classes in Elementary Pathological Chemistry in this laboratory, although the tests described arc likewise employed in the examination of the routine hospital specimens. The various chapters have been written with the idea that an adequate appreciation of normal physiological functions, is a necessary prerequisite to an intelligent conception of pathological chemical processes, especially since the latter may be regarded as deviations from the normal. It will be observed that many of our diagnostic tests have for their purpose the detection of an inability on the part of the body to complete or properly carry out some of the normal physiological transformations. In harmony with this view, a consideration of the physiology of digestion in Chapters I and II is followed by the abnormal variations frequently encountered, and methods by which such abnormalities may be detected. Likewise Chapters V and VI deal with the normal mechanism of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, before indicating how certain functional defects may lead to glucosuria and acetonuria. As will be observed, the general arrangement of the chapters follows the course of the various food materials through the body. Each chapter is composed of a resume of the subject with which it deals, followed by directions for laboratory tests, especially those which are considered of diagnostic value. The authors have endeavored to make the discussions complete, though concise, presenting the subject with the most recent developments in mind. The "Laboratory Procedures" contain descriptions of tests, which for the most part are very simple and require only a limited equipment. However, tests and determinations are occasionally included which are not especially simple and necessitate considerable manipulation, but which, nevertheless, frequently yield valuable data.
