Now in its revised and updated fourth edition, this state-of-the-art clinical textbook presents the current diagnosis and management of pediatric endocrine diseases and disorders as seen by practicing endocrinologists and primary care physicians. Seven thematic sections present the latest evidence for the management of growth, hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, calcium and bone, and reproductive disorders, as well as metabolic syndromes and endocrine emergencies. This fourth edition includes new topics such as conditions of overgrowth, low bone density and its management, endocrine issues related to sexual identity, mineralocorticoid disorders and endocrine hypertension, and endocrine emergencies. All chapters have been expanded to discuss recent advances in the field, and each chapter contains key points, an introductory discussion of the problem, a review of the clinical features that characterize it, the criteria needed to establish a diagnosis, and a comprehensive therapy section delineating the risks and benefits of the best therapeutic options available. Completing each chapter are concluding sections presenting relevant case material and multiple-choice review questions for students, residents and fellows.
