    SUMMARY :
        The aim of the Handbook of Diagnostic Endocrinology is to provide a com- prehensive overview of current approaches to the diagnosis of endocrine disor- ders. Our ability to diagnose patients with diseases of the endocrine systems is expanding exponentially with the development of new and more reliable assay methods and the incorporation of both molecular and genetic approaches into our understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases. Although the pri- mary focus of this volume is on the diagnosis of endocrine disease, the vast majority of endocrine diseases require long-term management; therefore, many of the chapters also discuss approaches to follow-up in these patients.
        The Handbook of Diagnostic Endocrinology comprises 16 chapters. Immu- noassays have long been the cornerstones of endocrine diagnoses. As an impor- tant background, Sabrina Gill, Frances Hayes, and Patrick Sluss discuss the many methodological advances that have expanded our repertoire of diagnostic tests. With the increased number of tests available for endocrine evaluation, it is incumbent that we understand the factors that affect assay performance and their impact on our ability to use these tools to aid in clinical diagnosis. Joseph Verbalis reviews the regulatory mechanisms underlying water and sodium metabolism and presents a comprehensive approach to disorders of body fluids, which are among the most commonly encountered problems in clinical medicine.
        Mary Lee Vance outlines the diagnosis and long-term followup of patients presenting with pituitary tumors, and Lynnette Nieman provides an approach to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome that includes a critical appraisal of available tests. Although endocrine causes of hypertension occur in only 10% of hypertensive subjects, this small fraction represents a large number of patients. Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Dluhy present a thoughtful and efficient approach to the diagnosis of these disorders. Anastassios Pittas and Stephanie Lee then update the approach to the diagnosis of thyroid disease, including an important discussion of currently available assays.
        Regina Castro and Hossein Gharib present a cost-effective approach to evaluation of the com- mon problem of thyroid nodules and discuss the preoperative evaluation and postoperative followup of patients with thyroid cancer. Allison Goldfine pro- vides an overview of the diagnosis of the various forms of diabetes and a com- prehensive discussion of long-term monitoring of the primary disease and its complications. Robert Ratner reviews the important area of gestational diabetes, both its diagnosis and consequences, and John Service presents a clear approach to the diagnosis of hypoglycemia. William Donahoo, Elizabeth Stephens, and Robert Eckel provide a thorough discussion of the modalities that are currently available for the assessment of dyslipidemia and obesity.
        Benjamin Leder and Joel Finkelstein then review calcium metabolism and present a logical approach to the diagnosis of hyper- and hypocalcemia. Patrick Doran and Sundeep Khosla discuss the spectrum of osteoporosis and an approach to diagnosis and long-term followup based on the currently available tools. Margaret Wierman reviews the normal physiology of the hypothalamic–pituitary–testicular axis and the physi- ology of erection, both of which are critical to the approach to evaluation of hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction. Drew Tortoriello and Janet Hall then discuss the physiology of normal menstrual function as a backdrop to their approach to the evaluation and long-term followup of women with disorders of menstrual function. Ricardo Azziz completes this volume with a practical and focused discussion of the evaluation of androgen excess in women.
        In Handbook of Diagnostic Endocrinology we provide the reader with a concise approach to the diagnosis of endocrine disorders that is based on an understanding of their pathophysiology and includes both clinical manifesta- tions and the most current laboratory tests available. This work will serve as a reference for students and fellows in training as well as an update for practicing endocrinologists and internists.

Manual of Nephrology - 7th Edition

    AUTHORS :
        Robert W. Schrier MD
            Professor of Medicine - Division of Renal Disease and Hypertension - University of Colorado - Health Sciences Center - Aurora, Colorado

    SUMMARY :
        The seventh edition of the Manual of Nephrology continues to focus on the practical clinical aspects of the diagnosis and management of patients with electrolyte and acid-base disorders, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis and vasculitis, acute or chronic renal failure, hypertension, hypertension and renal disease in pregnancy, and drug dosing with renal impairment. Because of the growing number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), separate chapters are now included on treatment by chronic renal replacement therapy with dialysis and kidney transplantation. The Manual of Nephrology should continue to be of excellent clinical value for those caregivers encountering patients with the above disorders. This would include house officers, medical students, primary care physicians, nephrology fellows, nurse practitioners, and busy subspecialists outside of nephrology.
        I am very appreciative of the outstanding contributions by the authors who have made every effort to update each chapter with recent advances in the diagnosis and management of the spectrum of hypertensive and kidney disorders. This includes adding several new authors who are outstanding clinician-educators. The Manual of Nephrology is again dedicated to Professor Hugh de Wardener who has made enormous contributions to the fields of hypertension and nephrology as a clinician, scientist, and educator for over 60 years.
