9783031860980: Handbook of Inpatient Endocrinology

Synopsis

Managing endocrine diseases in the inpatient setting has become more complex, while transitioning that care back to the ambulatory setting is as critical as ever. This book is intended to serve as an easy-to-navigate and concise text for guidance. It aims to be a user-friendly, pocket-sized reference for all physicians faced with endocrine care and challenges in hospitalized patients. This handbook covers the most common issues leading to an inpatient endocrine consult, providing differential diagnoses, a reasonable and practical approach to investigating and managing the condition, and advice for follow-up. Many clinical practices have changed and new drugs, concepts have emerged since the 1st edition of this book. This updated new edition is intended to aid all clinical care providers who treat endocrine problems in hospitalized patients. Conditions discussed include thyrotoxicosis and thyroid storm, calcium disorders, osteoporosis, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma, primary aldosteronism, hypoglycemia in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, and endocrine issues during pregnancy, among others. Suggestions for further reading are included, providing more context for well-established clinical approaches.

Written by experts with years of experience providing endocrinology consultations in a hospital setting, Handbook of Inpatient Endocrinology 2nd Edition is a valuable, high-yield resource for endocrine residents and fellows, but it will be equally useful for any busy hospitalist or primary care physician when endocrinology consults are not available.
