Product Description
Endocrine Pathophysiology, second edition, presents new insight into the immensely complex reactions that allow hormone interactions with receptors; the early onset, greater extent, and increased risk of metabolic disorders (e.g., diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia); new approaches to treatment; and new guidelines for management of blood glucose, cholesterol, and body weight. The author concentrates on basic principles of endocrine pathophysiology, illustrates their significance with clinical problems, and provides a framework for solving problems rather than focusing on details of treatment, which change constantly. Review questions and answers are provided for self-assessment.

This book is one of the best medical school texts out there period. It covers all the major hormone pathways and associated disorders in a clear manner intended for the 2nd year medical student. Discussions of disease process are case-based. Outlines of all endocrine pathways are shown in figures to cater to those who learn by visualization. Tables of disorders are also plentiful. Simple explanations of biochemical and molecular pathophysiology are given whereever it’s necessary to understand the disease process. Diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders is presented in an intuitive fashion. Also, multiple-choice review questions testing highlights are included at the end of each chapter. The one drawback to this book is that it is in black&white, with gray-scale images. Nevertheless, this is a minor demerit in a huge host of merits. I highly recommend this to all.
Rating: 5 / 5
It is a great book for med. students in a organ based/PBL medical school curriculum.
