Biochemistry Laboratory

The Biochemistry laboratory provides healthcare support to the different medical specialties for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of a wide variety of pathologies. Our areas of expertise include: basic biochemistry, nutrition and endocrinology, intestinal malabsorption, tumor markers, drug monitoring and toxicology, metabolopathies, diabetes, study of biological fluids and study of hepatitis virus infections. In addition, we support the Emergency laboratory with activity 24 hours a day.
