Aims
To provide an integrated knowledge of human pathological processes of the renal and respiratory systems, and the laboratory methods used to study disease, including the genetic basis of disease where appropriate and the use of bioinformatics.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Critically discuss the scientific basis of pathological processes associated with the renal and respiratory systems.
2.
Critically discuss the genetic basis of disease of the renal and respiratory systems.
3.
Justify the choice of investigative procedures used in studying human disease.
4.
Consider the use of bioinformatics and personalised medicine as they relate to the future of diagnostics and treatment.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
The syllabus will focus on the pathophysiology and laboratory investigations associated with the following renal and respiratory systems. Renal: Urine composition, classification of renal disease, infections of the urinary tract. Laboratory investigations including urinalysis and proteinuria. Respiratory: Characteristics of acid-base disorders (acidosis and alkalosis), respiratory tract infections. Laboratory investigations (culture, immunofluorescence, and the use of molecular biology). Cystic fibrosis and associated infections. Genetic basis of disease; also personalised medicine and companion diagnostics. Bioinformatics.

Additional Information:
This module, together with the linked modules Study of Disease 1 and Study of Disease 2, will provide students with an understanding of the scientific basis of clinically important diseases and the laboratory methods used to study them at the molecular, cellular, tissue and organ level.
