Learning Objectives
CLINICAL PATHOLOGY
Objectives of this teaching are: to know and know how to interpret the first level analyses in order to move towards a correct clinical diagnosis. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of the analyzes performed at the patient's bed and the equipment used. To know the various types of mutations in man, their mechanisms and effects on proteins. To learn how to perform a genotype-clinical or biochemical phenotype correlation using the inherited pathologies of connective tissue as a model. To learn the interaction between genetic variability and pharmacological therapies, the importance of trace elements and a proper metabolism of amino acids in our body.
CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
Learning of the clinical relevance of the main laboratory parameters dealing with tissue and organ damage.

CLINICAL PATHOLOGY
The Clinical Pathology deals with: a) first level analysis to direct the patient towards a correct clinical diagnosis: urinalysis (characteristics of functional tests and main tests used in the clinic: measurement of glomerular filtrate, creatinine and urea, examination of urine: preanalytic and analytical variability, sensitivity and specificity) and renal pathologies (nephritic and nephrotic syndromes, renal failure, proteinuria, hematology); hepatic and metabolic disorders (amino aciduria); stool analysis and gastrointestinal diseases (hemorrhoids, rhagades, ulcers, esophagitis, gastritis, tumors), blood tests and anemia (classification of the test and the parameters that compose it, physiological variability, application to the diagnosis of the main pathological hematological pictures with particular attention to the diagnosis of anemia), inflammatory states, autoimmune diseases, endocrine diseases, hemostasis disorders, internal organs, oligoelements dosing. Innovative techniques in the field of laboratory medicine and rare diseases in the clinical-laboratory field. Decentralized analyzes (Point of Care Testing): general principles; main methods of study in hemostasis and clinical chemistry. Principle of the method and implementation. Clinical meaning and interpretation of the result.
Glucose metabolism and diabetes. Blood sugar and diabetes: study methods, their clinical significance and interpretation. Therapeutic drug monitoring. Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomicsGenetic-clinical pathology: types of mutations in humans, interpretation of the results of mutational analyzes applied to the model of inherited pathologies of connective tissue.
