Clinical Paediatric Endocrinology is now firmly established as the leading international work of reference in the field, covering the pathology of endocrine disorders, their diagnosis and treatment. The book takes a comprehensive approach to the subject and covers the classic hormones as well as growth factors and regulatory peptides, neuroendocrinology, 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.-- New Fourth Edition of a classic text-- 100 pages larger than the previous edition-- Completely reorganised into 10 sections and includes a completely new section on evidence-based paediatric endocrinology
