This book is specially tailor made for first year MBBS students. This book contains more than 50 cases important for university examinations. It also covers all cases from last 15 years university examinations. As per new MCI curriculum, clinically oriented approach to Biochemistry is important. All aspects related to cases are covered in the book. Easy to remember mnemonics are given wherever it is required.
