Practical Endocrinology and Diabetes in Children, Second Edition, continues to provide a very practical overview of managing endocrine problems in children. Coverage of each disorder reflects its clinical importance. The material is organized in such a way that it can be referred to at a moment's notice. Help overviews of epidemiology, pathophysiology, investigations, differential diagnoses and psychosocial issues support the advice on management principles.

The diabetes chapter has been completely revised. Raymond L. Hintz, MD, Stanford University Medical Center, joins the team and brings a North American perspective to the text. Furthermore, a new section entitled 'Potential Pitfalls' has been added to each chapter to help you avoid common problems.
