  • Metabolism explained clearly: glycolysis, TCA cycle, β-oxidation, ketogenesis, urea cycle, electron transport chain and the related metabolic disorders.
  • Clinical relevance: kidney, liver and lipid profile tests with their clinical significance — the pathology a pharmacist needs.
  • Trusted panel, strong value: a four-member author team including a DMLT-qualified professor; 280 pages at ₹260.

About this book

Biochemistry & Clinical Pathology combines the chemistry of life with the laboratory side of patient care, and this textbook covers both clearly for the D.Pharma Second Year student. Written strictly as per the PCI Education Regulation 2020 (ER20-23T), it follows the official syllabus chapter by chapter, so what you study is exactly what your university examines.

The book works through the biomolecules — carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, lipids and nucleic acids — then enzymes, vitamins, and the full study of metabolism (glycolysis, TCA cycle, β-oxidation, ketogenesis, transamination, the urea cycle, biological oxidation and the electron transport chain) with the diseases of abnormal metabolism. It covers minerals, water and electrolyte balance and an introduction to biotechnology, then moves to the clinical pathology side: organ function tests (kidney, liver and lipid profile with their clinical significance) and an introduction to the pathology of blood and urine (lymphocytes, platelets, erythrocytes and abnormal urine constituents).

Every topic is explained in simple, clear English with the definitions, pathways and clinical significance a Second-Year student needs, making a demanding subject easier to understand and revise. At 280 pages it is a genuine, complete textbook.

Authored by a four-member panel — Dr. Kratika Daniel (Ph.D, M.Pharma, DMLT), Dr. Sarika Sharma, Ms. Arti Solanki and Dr. Vivek Daniel (Professor & Principal) — and published by Shree Sai Prakashan, Meerut. Suitable for D.Pharma Second Year students at every PCI-approved institute across India.
