Features: This book is a clinical monograph on the diagnosis and treatment of endocrine system diseases from both Chinese and Western medicine perspectives. It is divided into three parts: General Introduction, Specific Topics, and Appendices. The General Introduction systematically introduces the concepts, anatomy, and physiology of endocrine system diseases from both Chinese medicine and modern medicine. The Specific Topics cover 64 types of endocrine system diseases, categorized by endocrine anatomical organs (hypothalamus-pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries, testes) and groups such as children and the elderly. Each disease generally includes three sections: Western medicine (overview, etiology and pathology, diagnosis, treatment, etc.), Chinese medicine (overview, key diagnostic points, treatment methods, etc.), and integrated Chinese and Western medicine (treatment approaches and plans, essential diagnostic and treatment experiences). The Appendices include common reference values for endocrine system tests and a disease index. The book is rich in content and highly practical, serving as a reference for clinical practitioners and researchers in Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and integrated Chinese and Western medicine.
