Clinical enzymology: The study of enzyme alterations in diseases, focusing on how enzyme levels change in various pathological states to aid diagnosis and understanding of disease mechanisms.
Metabolic acidosis: A biochemical disturbance characterized by an excess of acid in the body, leading to a decrease in blood pH. It involves changes in acid-base balance and biochemical compensations to restore homeostasis.
Inborn errors of metabolism: Genetic defects that impair specific biochemical pathways, resulting in abnormal metabolite levels detectable through clinical tests, often presenting with characteristic biochemical abnormalities.
Serum electrolyte imbalance: Disruptions in serum electrolyte levels caused by biochemical causes such as altered renal function or acid-base disturbances, leading to specific clinical presentations.
