"What's new? The sixth edition represents the most radical revision since the book was first published in 1995. New “Want to know more?” links throughout the book point interested readers to further information, and there are now multiple choice questions for readers to test their knowledge. (We have, however, retained the popular clinical notes and case histories.) The entire content of the book has been reviewed, and every spread, table and illustration examined afresh to see if it merits inclusion or amendment. The first section has been comprehensively revamped, with a series of new spreads on interpretation."

"Each chapter includes a summary of the basic biochemistry and physiology upon which understanding clinical biochemistry depends. The nature, choice, use and limitations of laboratory investigations naturally comprise the bulk of each chapter, but clinical biochemistry is only one part of laboratory medicine, and laboratory tests comprise only one group among the many types of investigation available to support diagnosis and management. Other investigations—for example imaging—are mentioned and overviews of management options are provided; however, we stress that this book is not, and is not intended to be, a textbook of metabolic medicine."

"Apart from describing the core of basic science, we continue to emphasize the contribution of biochemistry to the understanding of major global health problems such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, malnutrition, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. As before, we remain convinced that the biochemistry of water, electrolyte, and acid–base balance is as important for future clinicians as are the key metabolic pathways and thus deserves more emphasis in the biochemistry curriculum.
In addition to substantial updates, we have changed the structure of the book, aiming to provide a clearer perspective on the entire field. The details of this reorganization are summarized in Chapter 1 ."
