About the Book

This newest addition to the Current Endocrinology series, The Thyroid, is a complete guide to the management of thyroid diseases. The book covers all aspects of the thyroid and its diseases, including physiology of the gland and its hormones, autoimmune mechanisms, thyroid function tests, and the effects of illness on thyroid functions. The Thyroid also dedicates a chapter to each of the major categories of thyroid disease - hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, and thyroid neoplasia. This book promises to be a valuable reference for both primary care physicians and practicing endocrinologists who manage thyroid disease.
