Description

For a discipline spanning a wide spectrum of conditions and disorders, this is a textbook which provides up-to-date solutions and support. The practicing endocrine clinician will find cutting-edge information in a practical format, as well as help with routine management issues and other problems that may arise less frequently. While the emphasis is firmly on assessment, investigation and treatment, the authors have included some basic science tenets, for comprehension and completeness. They have expanded those tenets in areas where current research is likely to impinge upon clinical practice. Endocrinology in Clinical Practice is ideal for all endocrinologists and those in internal medicine.
