"Endocrinology and Metabolism" is a popular resource covering basic principles and clinical management of all-important endocrine and metabolic diseases. The focus of this edition has been on the identification and elucidation of the latest clinical findings in respect to the diagnosis and management of endocrine disease. The basic science aspects (e.g. mineral metabolism) have been shortened throughout the book in order to make more room for clinical medicine and keep the book to its present length.
