Paediatric endocrinology is a well-developed clinical subspecialty relating to the study of clinical conditions resulting as a manifestation of either insufficient or excess levels of hormones in the newborn and paediatric population. It is often considered that it is a subspecialty dealing with rare, remote or esoteric conditions that should not concern general paediatricians or paediatric trainees; however an understanding of the underlying physiological mechanisms is essential for rationalising management strategies. This straight-forward revision guide brings together the basic principles and key features of a wide array of clinical conditions with endocrine manifestations. The flowcharts, diagrams and illustrations aid comprehension and allow for highly effective revision. A list of common endocrine presentations, with useful differential diagnoses is also presented. Completely up-to-date, this text is ideal for MRCPCH candidates, as well as general paediatric trainees between ST1 and ST4. It is also a highly useful starting point and ready reference for all paediatric trainees, medical students and other members of clinical staff involved in the care of children and young people.

It is very well organised. provides a more detailed discussion of cardiac physiology and pathophysiology and a comprehensive guide to ECG interpretation. It should be of particular interest to paediatricians in training, including those studying for higher professional examinations, but it also provides a valuable source of reference for paediatricians already in practice.' From the Foreword by Dr Christopher Wren

This book is aimed at primary care providers who care for the pediatric age group (general pediatrician, the PCP working with pediatric patients, and family medicine providers) with the goal of covering the endocrine differential diagnosis of common signs and symptoms of possible endocrine disease as well as appropriate initial laboratory evaluation and interpretation. While multiple pediatric endocrine textbooks exist, most of them are heavy in coverage of physiology and rare diseases, with less discussion of practical steps in evaluation and diagnosis. This book distinguishes itself through a very practical approach. The first section is organized by presenting signs and symptoms, the second section is organized by laboratory interpretation, and the third section provides summaries of common pediatric endocrine disorders. Chapters are concise, providing critical clinical information including clinical pearls, common diagnoses and important points in patient counseling. Written by experts in the field, Endocrine Conditions in Pediatrics is a valuable resource that provides general pediatricians and other primary care providers with all of the information they need to provide superb patient care before transferring to a pediatric endocrinologist when necessary.
