| Popis: | Chemical pathology studies the biochemistry of physiological fluids, including urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid. A change in the body's chemistry is a sign of many illnesses1. Laboratory experts can diagnose diseases and suggest treatments by monitoring and analyzing bodily fluids to determine whether a patient's organs function correctly. This field gained momentum in the 19th century2. It is now undeniable that laboratory data are necessary for many clinical diagnoses. Many of the clinical decisions cannot be made without its input. This letter addresses the overreaching contribution of some recent tests to clinical decision-making and how they have proven to be a game-changing element inpatient diagnosis and care.
