Clinical chemistry (also known as clinical biochemistry, chemical pathology or pure blood chemistry) is the area of
pathology that is generally concerned with analysis of
bodily fluids.The discipline originated in the late 19th century with the use of simple chemical tests for various components of blood and urine. Subsequently other techniques were applied including the use and measurement of
enzyme activities,
spectrophotometry,
electrophoresis and
immunoassay.Most current laboratories are now highly automated and use assays that are closely monitored and quality controlled.
