MULTIDISCIPLINARY DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS PREIMPLANTATION AND PRENATAL - ANTIAGING MEDICINE
Module MEDICINA ANTIAGING E DIAGNOSTICA CORRELATA NELLA COPPIA INFERTILE

Academic Year 2026/2027 - Teacher: VITTORIO CALABRESE

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course is designed to provide students with a good foundation of knowledge in all aspects of Clinical Biochemistry. Introducing the fundamentals of instrumentation and methodology in the clinical chemistry and biochemistry laboratory medicine, lectures will cover urinalysis testing procedures and associated disease entities, as well as analysis of other body fluids. Clinical testing using automated and manual methods, measurement of pancreatic function and intestinal absorption, renal and liver function, enzymes, electrolytes, blood gases, lipids, toxicology, urinalysis, endocrinology, neurological, dysmetabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases.
