Programmazione in Italiano
Il modulo fornisce le conoscenze di base della medicina di laboratorio, con particolare
riferimento alle fasi pre-analitica, analitica e post-analitica del processo diagnostico.
Verranno trattati i principali parametri di qualità analitica, quali accuratezza, precisione,
sensibilità e specificità diagnostica e clinica. Saranno approfonditi gli esami di laboratorio
di più comune impiego, tra cui emocromo, anemie e indici eritrocitari, citofluorimetria,
metabolismo del ferro e proteine correlate, elettroforesi delle sieroproteine, metabolismo
dei carboidrati (glicemia, diabete mellito ed emoglobina glicata), profilo lipidico e
lipoproteine, sindrome metabolica, nonché la valutazione della funzionalità epatica e
pancreatica mediante indagini di laboratorio.
Course Program (English)
The module provides the fundamental principles of laboratory medicine, with particular
emphasis on the pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases of the diagnostic
process. Key concepts of analytical quality, including accuracy, precision, diagnostic
sensitivity, and clinical specificity, will be discussed. The course covers the most commonly
used laboratory tests, including the complete blood count (CBC), anemia and erythrocyte
indices, flow cytometry, iron metabolism and iron-related proteins, serum protein
electrophoresis, carbohydrate metabolism (blood glucose, diabetes mellitus, and glycated
hemoglobin, HbA1c), lipid profile and lipoproteins, metabolic syndrome, as well as
laboratory assessment of liver and pancreatic function.Program
- Immunological properties of erythrocytes and blood group systems: the ABO and
Rh blood group systems
- Stool examination: pre-analytical, analytical, and interpretative aspects
- Leukocyte alterations and laboratory diagnosis of leukemias
