(Che.Anal.), University of Colombo: UC(SCI), 1998.Laboratory investigations are extremely important because the modem health care experts rely heavily on the results of chemical measurements of constotuents in the body fluids and tissue. This dissertation discusses about disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in human body and laboratory investigations in the diagnosis of disease. Work perfomance in the laboratory is always better when the laboratoryworker understands the principles, application and technique of the laboratory investigations. The chemical principles of the selected methods are discussed along with the physiological and biochemical changes for carbohydrate metabolism in normal and disease states. clinical interpretations are given to show the significance of the laboratory test results in the joint efforts of laboratory worker and physician in the diagnosis and the treatment of the disease. In few instances this dissertation only presents the principles of themethods because most users actually follow instrictions in their commercoal kitsor use automated methods.en-USUniversity of Colombo, UC(SCI): Sri Lanka HELLIS NetworkCarbohydrate metabolismCarbohydrate MetabolismThesis
