Summarizes the current knowledge on the role of metal ions in clinical chemistry--encompassing the exposure of humans to metals, their metabolism, as well as various and specific methods for their determination in different biological matrices. Following an introductory chapter and a general survey of the role of metals in clinical chemistry, the next 13 chapters extensively treat different analytical methods, including the necessary procedures for sampling, storage, and sample preparation, as well as quality assurance of analyses. The next 43 chapters are devoted to individual metal ions relevant in clinical chemistry; they consider 61 metals and metalloids, detailing their physiology and analytical determination, together with some information on their chemistry, geochemical distribution, and technical use.
