This edition features 34 chapters, an increase from 30 chapters in the previous (sixth) edition. The four newly introduced chapters are: Metabolism of Alcohol, Instrumentation and Techniques, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Industry, and AETCOM Module 1.1.The content of the seventh edition has been extensively revised to align with the CBME approach. Clinical approaches, case studies, and image-based questions have been incorporated across all chapters to enhance applied understanding. Most chapters now include clinical cases, diagnostic approaches, image-based questions, insights, new illustrations, and images of relevant disorders to reinforce key concepts. To facilitate learning and retention, each chapter concludes with a comprehensive assessment questions, which includes long answer questions, short answer questions, scenario-based case studies, reasoning questions, multiple choice questions (MCQs).

• This edition comprises 34 chapters, up from 30 in the previous (sixth) edition. The four newly added chapters are: Metabolism of Alcohol, Instrumentation and Techniques, Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Industry, and AETCOM Module 1.1.
• Each chapter begins with clearly defined competencies and learning objectives aligned with the CBME framework.
• Applied aspects of biochemistry are emphasized through: Clinical case boxes, clinical approach discussions, image-based questions, rich clinical illustrations related to key disorders, and “insight” boxes highlighting important and practical facts.
• This comprehensive approach eliminates the need for a separate book on clinical case studies.
• To reinforce learning, each chapter concludes with a variety of assessment questions, including: Long-answer type questions, short notes, scenario-based case studies, reasoning questions, multiple choice questions (MCQs).
• This CBME-aligned textbook has been recommended by several universities and medical colleges across India as part of the curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduates (IMG).
