Importance of biochemistry in MEDICINE
• Physiology: Biochemistry helps one understand the biochemical changes and related physiological alteration in the body.
• Pathology: Based on the symptoms described by the patient, physician can get clue on the biochemical change and the associated disorder. For example if a patient complains about stiffness in small joints, then physician may predict it to be gout and get confirmed by evaluating uric acid levels in the blood. As uric acid accumulation in blood results in gout.
• Nursing and diagnosis: In nursing importance of clinical biochemistry is invaluable. Also almost all the diseases or disorders have some biochemical involvement. So the diagnosis of any clinical condition is easily possible by biochemical estimations.
Importance of biochemistry in AGRICULTURE
