Clinical Paediatric Endocrinology is established as the leading international work of reference in the field, covering the pathology of endocrine disorders, their diagnosis and treatment. The boundaries of this branch of paediatrics are wide and difficult to define, but a comprehensive approach is taken here: the book covers the classic hormones as well as growth factors and regulatory peptides, neuroendocrinoloyg, imaging in paediatrics and the use of diagnostic testing. The clinical descriptions are concise and well supported by photographs, while the sections on investigation and management are extensive.
