Features: Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders Handbook, 2nd Edition, continues to present the latest developments in the field of endocrinology to readers. With easy-to-understand and comprehensive content, it describes the pathophysiology, assessment, management, and treatment of diseases. Most endocrinology books currently available are limited in their scope of professional content, while this book not only focuses on adult endocrine and metabolic diseases but also includes infant and pediatric endocrine and metabolic diseases. Readers can choose relevant chapters based on their profession and needs. The book elaborates on the treatment protocols for most endocrine diseases and emphasizes the practical application of disease treatment. It is comprehensive, clear, and easy to understand, with references for further research. This edition integrates relevant pathophysiology to improve the assessment and theoretical understanding of diseases. The book is aimed at endocrinology specialists, diabetes specialists, clinicians, healthcare professionals, medical students, and nurses. Most chapters from the previous edition have been retained, with a focus on rewriting new perspectives and treatment plans, including Syndrome X (insulin resistance syndrome), pediatric type 2 diabetes, new drugs for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and new theories on atherosclerosis formation, as insulin is closely related to heart disease. A new discipline, endocrine cardiology, is emerging. The book primarily covers the pathophysiology, assessment, management, and treatment of endocrine and metabolic diseases, including: basic knowledge of endocrinology, hypothalamic-pituitary, adrenal diseases, and more, reflecting the latest achievements in the diagnosis and treatment of endocrinology.
