This concise handbook is a reference for the many clinicians who see patients with disorders of mineral metabolism, metabolic bone diseases, or disorders of stone formation. In a format designed for quick reference, it provides complete information on the symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of all common and rare bone and mineral disorders. The book also explains the laboratory and radiologic studies used in clinical evaluation of these disorders and reviews pertinent basic science information on bone biology, mineral homeostasis, and calcium-regulating hormones. The Second Edition's expanded coverage of osteoporosis includes detailed guidelnes on radiologic evaluation and bone densitometry. Other highlights of the Second Edition include new chapters on parathyroid hormone-related protein, updated recommendations for management of hypercalcemia, and new information on the molecular basis of various disorders.
