MLT224

describe the physiological functions measured through Clinical Chemistry testing, such as cardiac markers, liver enzymes, hormones, and blood gases.

explain the principles of Clinical Chemistry testing, including methodology (such as fluorometry, chromatography, and immunoassay), and their utilization in toxicology, therapeutic drug monitoring, and diagnosis of associated conditions.

Reasoning

display positive professional behaviors, such as applying principles of laboratory safety, organizing workflow to minimize errors, and working cooperatively to utilize shared lab resources.

list factors affecting drug administration, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, and the clinical use of various therapeutic drugs.

outline the physiological or pre-analytical conditions associated with abnormal test values and the screening and diagnostic testing processes associated with the corresponding disease state.

correlate testing results, such as cardiac enzymes or liver function panels, to the disease state and recommended confirmatory testing.
