Book Description
Experienced physicians concisely explain the
pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of endocrine disorders and
survey all the latest laboratory diagnostics. Topics range widely from
an overview of the diagnosis of diabetes and the long-term monitoring of
its complications to the evaluation of menstrual dysfunction. Coverage
is also given to the diagnosis of pituitary tumors, Cushing's syndrome,
thyroid disease, and hypoglycemia; the evaluation of endocrine-induced
hypertension; the assessment of dyslipidemia and obesity; and approaches
to diagnosing hyper- and hypocalcemia. There are also discussions of
osteoporosis, hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction, and
hyperandrogenism in women. The authors each review the complex
physiological basis of the relevant endocrine processes and provide
richly instructive recommendations for followup and long-term management
of patients.
