This text provides a concise, straightforward and clearly
written approach for the evaluation of common topics in pediatric
endocrinology. Pediatricians, family physicians, residents,
fellows and medical students will benefit from the discussion of
endocrine physiology and its application to common clinical
practice. The text presents the major signs and symptoms and the
diagnosis and management of pediatric endocrine disorders.
The information presented can prepare a provider for
communication with parents of a child with an endocrine condition
and may allow the practitioner to avoid an unnecessary
consultation. The concepts covered in the text are designed to
address the first 10 headings in the content outline of the
Sub-board of Pediatric Endocrinology of The American Board of
Pediatrics with varying degrees of specificity. The Suggested
Reading sections at the conclusion of each chapter direct the
reader to outstanding larger and more detailed texts, manuscripts
and websites which offer increased detail.
