Clinical Endocrinology is a reference textbook dealing with the latest scientific developments in endocrinology and neuroendocrinology and their clinical, bedside applications. The dominant philosophy is that good endocrine medicine depends not only on gifted clinical evaluations and judgments, but also on their integration with high-quality scientific advances.

By their very nature, endocrine systems must interact with all other systems. It is vital, therefore, to consider the interdependence of humoral systems with other non-endocrine physical behavioural activities within the body in health and disease. This textbook fulfills this function with great expertise and practicality.

The second edition of this invaluable textbook has been revised throughout. Greater emphasis has been given to the pathophysiological basis of endocrine disease, and there are ample references for more detailed reading materials.
