Talk:Chemical pathology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Terminology

Does anyone mind if we change (for a more limited definition, etc) to (also known as clinical biochemistry or clinical chemistry)? Ian Mc

Nope, it would probably be a good move. Any difference between chem path and clin chem could be explained in the article. T 04:18, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I never heard the term chemical pathology...my degree is Clinical Chemistry - are there labs called "chemical pathology"? NanF

We may want to consider shifting the main page to "clinical chemistry". I will do so in a week or so if there are no objections. -Rustavo 07:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Chemical Pathology is a UK term but is not uniformly applied. Clinical chemistry is more likely to be found in the US where, as University system doesn't have Biochemistry as an independent subject, they therefore also don't have Clinical Biochemistry labs. I would support a merger of the pages as it makes no difference to the test profiles whatever the lab calls itself. Ianmc 21:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
