Clinical biochemistry

Through 25 hypothetical clinical cases and scenarios, this activity challenges learners to integrate concepts of carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and enzyme dynamics. Participants will encounter questions highlighting real-world clinical relevance, such as the role of glycolytic intermediates, gluconeogenesis regulation, enzyme inhibition, and metabolic dysfunction in diseases like vitamin deficiencies and hyperammonemia. This engaging exploration enhances critical thinking and bridges biochemical theory with clinical practice.
