Biochemistry for Medicine Course
Master the biochemistry behind alcohol-related ketoacidosis and fasting states. This course connects metabolic pathways like redox chemistry, ketogenesis, and gluconeogenesis to lab results, acid-base status, ABG interpretation, and electrolyte patterns. Apply this knowledge to make informed treatment decisions on fluid selection, dextrose, thiamine, insulin, and bicarbonate in clinical practice.

What will I learn?
This course offers a focused, case-based exploration of alcohol-related ketoacidosis and starvation states. Learners connect redox chemistry, hepatic metabolism, ketogenesis, and gluconeogenesis to real lab panels, ABG interpretation, and electrolyte patterns. Gain skills to apply this knowledge in selecting fluids, using dextrose and thiamine, and making safe decisions on insulin and bicarbonate therapy.
