In the world of Clinical Chemistry, tests often require sophisticated equipment in addition to clinical reagents. Blood gas analysers, electrophoresis and chromatography, among others, are used alongside self-testing equipment to enable patients to self-monitor different compounds. The Electrophoresis technique is used extensively in DNA, RNA and protein analysis – wherein the technique is used to…
Adverse health outcomes are either adapted or innate. The latter however is a consequence of genetic disorders, where specific enzyme defects interfere with the normal metabolism of exogenous (dietary) or endogenous protein, carbohydrate or fat intake. These disorders hence earn the term Inborn Errors of Metabolism or IEM. What this disorder does is reduce or…
