Learning objectives
The training objectives of the course are: knowledge of the assumptions and general criteria for interpreting laboratory tests based on the concepts of normality, reference intervals, intra- and inter-individual analytical and biological variability: interpretation of the diagnostic value of laboratory tests, in terms of specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive value; knowledge of the fundamental principles of laboratory methodologies in the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases; knowledge of the pathophysiological meaning underlying the alterations of laboratory indices and ability to integrate these alterations with the signs and symptoms clinically detected by the anamnesis and physical examination to arrive at a diagnostic interpretation of the most important clinical syndromes; recognize, on the basis of the pathophysiological and clinical significance of laboratory tests, the reasons for the examination requests, the operational logic and the semiological value of the individual tests in a typical clinical case series. Clinical Biochemistry - Laboratory Medicine Module The specific objectives of the module are the knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms and the interpretation of laboratory tests relating to individual organs and systems, referring in particular to the following topics: blood count; blood coagulation system; carbohydrate metabolism and diabetes; lipid metabolism, atherosclerotic disease and its complications; acid-base and hydroelectrolyte balance; plasma proteins and inflammation indices; renal function; liver function; acute myocardial infarction; enzymes in disease diagnosis and monitoring; tumor biomarkers; main endocrine alterations (thyroid, adrenals, gonads, phospho-calcium metabolism); pregnancy monitoring; molecular biology applications. Further objectives are knowledge of the main genetic diseases and related identification tests, and knowledge of the general principles and main methods of therapeutic drug monitoring. Practical Teaching Module of Laboratory Medicine The objectives of the module, to be achieved through small group exercises, are: ability to perform and interpret a haemocytometric test and the main haemocoagulation tests; performing a rapid blood sugar test; interpretation of the main lipid metabolism tests; interpretation of tests for the evaluation of acid-base and hydroelectrolyte balance; results of renal and liver function tests.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Course registration
Program
The lessons will be delivered in person and the material will be made available in the course Moodle. At the end of the course the student: 1) Will know the assumptions and general criteria for interpreting laboratory tests based on the concepts of normality, reference intervals, intra- and inter-individual analytical and biological variability. They will be able to interpret the diagnostic value of laboratory tests, in terms of specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative predictive value. 2) Will know the fundamental principles of laboratory methodologies in the pre-analytical phase (collection, treatment and conservation of samples), in the analytical phase (fundamental principles and implementation of the most important laboratory techniques), and in the post-analytical phase (collection, data processing and reporting; interpretations of results, quality control). 3) He will know the pathophysiological meaning underlying the alterations of laboratory indices and will be able to integrate these alterations with the signs and symptoms clinically detected by the anamnesis and physical examination to arrive at a diagnostic interpretation of the most important clinical syndromes. 4) Based on the pathophysiological and clinical significance of the laboratory tests, they will be able to recognize the reasons for the examination requests, the operational logic and the semiological value of the individual tests in a typical clinical case series.

Didactic methods
In-person lessons, unless otherwise indicated by the University bodies. Students who are in isolation due to testing positive for Covid will be provided with recordings of the lessons.
Learning assessment procedures
In-person oral exam on all program topics. In the event of new health emergencies, the exam will be delivered in oral form using the Zoom platform. The test potentially concerns all the topics in the program given to the student at the beginning of the course.
Assessment
The knowledge of the topics covered in class and the degree of in-depth study of the topics are assessed.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
According to the Commission's indications
