Summary

Endocrinology's #1 single-source reference updated to reflect the latest diagnostic testing and important new approaches to medical managementA Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This book, one of the best endocrine textbooks, manages to be comprehensive but not overwhelming. Since various aspects of clinical endocrinology have changed in recent years, a new edition is certainly warranted. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in endocrinology."--Doody's Review ServiceBasic & Clinical Endocrinology,8e is a concise, single-source reference for the entire field of clinical endocrinology and the underlying basic science. Richly illustrated with 330 illustrations, this trusted guide is written by clinicians and researchers drawn largely from the University of California, San Francisco, one of the nation's most respected endocrine divisions.
