Endocrinology and Metabolism covers basic principles and clinical management of all important endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Endocrinology and Metabolism strengthened clinical treatment sections and is replete with tables.

Endocrinology and Metabolism is written by leading clinicians with greater emphasis on clinical practice, rather than basic science.
