The study of lipid abnormalities, mainly the hyperlipidaemias, is one of the most recent and rapidly expanding braches of medicine. There is a growing awareness of lipids in medicine, particularly in coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. This work covers most aspects of lipidology in 50 case studies. The book also examines basic biochemistry, diagnosis, treatment, management and lipid screening programmes. Case histories and questions are followed by explanation of the suggested answers with an emphasis on the clinical management of the patient. The text is appropriate for candiates preparing for the MRCPath and MRCP examinations as well as those studying for MCB, FIMLS and MSc in Medical Biochemistry.
