Biochemistry for Medicine Course
This course explores the biochemistry of alcohol-related ketoacidosis and starvation states using a case-based approach. Learners connect redox chemistry, hepatic metabolism, ketogenesis, and gluconeogenesis to lab panels, ABG interpretation, and electrolyte patterns. It emphasizes applying this knowledge to clinical decisions on fluid selection, dextrose, thiamine, insulin, and bicarbonate therapy, enhancing real-world medical practice.

What will I learn?
This course provides a focused, case-based exploration of alcohol-related ketoacidosis and starvation states in medicine. Participants connect key biochemical processes like redox chemistry, hepatic metabolism, ketogenesis, and gluconeogenesis to real-world lab panels, ABG interpretation, and electrolyte patterns, then apply this understanding to guide fluid selection, dextrose administration, thiamine use, and safe decisions on insulin and bicarbonate.
